My first attempt at doing so was unsuccessful. Now you just hold the bottom of the heart and use the hitch pin to twist away!Īt some point I will probably design and print a piece to replace the metal hitch pin. If you don't do this, then when you rotate the heart the center piece travels upwards.Ĥ) add some glue to the inside center piece and reinsert the hitch pin with the top center piece in place. Mark where the top of the top center piece is on the hitch pin.ģ) remove and glue a washer on the hitch pin at the mark you made. The STL file included is unmodified).Ģ) Insert a 1/4' x 1-3/4' cotterless hitch pin through the top piece and into the center piece.
(When I get a chance I will update the stl file extending the shaft all the way through. I replaced the top pin (short) with a 1/4' x 1-3/4' cotterless hitch pin with D-ring.ġ) use a 1/4' drill bit and drill the hole in the top center piece all the way through. Since I already had the hearts printed, I manually made the modifications to the parts.
