SeeSaw Model


I needed a seesaw to catapult a block of wood into my bucket, so I decided to model a simple child's toy version. Since all the references I can find seem to be of full sized adult ones, I changed and simplified the design a little but kept the same principle structure. I used Booleans-difference to cut out the top and middle of the base, added a long, blinn material pin through the centre to keep it all together, and added a bevel to make the edges smooth.

  1. Interesting. I am thinking of a new product that will fill a need (which is always good) and came across your see-saw. I do need to look up Booleans-difference (I am familiar with Boolean logic, but not B-d) and appreciate your post about your simple design. Thanks.
