Octonauts Balance Game

Boost MeWork with this requires a ton of design and iteration. Your boost inspire more of that!  My kid loves Octonauts, but I didn't find a lot of Octonauts-themed games here on MW, so I made one! I recently printed a similar Pokemon balance game for a friend, but since my little one isn't into Pokemon yet, I decided to design this custom version. The Game Stack the Octonauts crew on a giant kelp, standing on top of an Octopod-themed rocker! The classic stacking / balancing mechanics are super intuitive for kids, so the game is accessible across a wide range of ages. We've played as a family, on playdates, with cousins and grandparents, the whole nine yards. How to Play Roll the die, and place the matching Octonaut onto the kelp branches. If the die lands on the blank side - you can make that a wild card or re-roll. You can come up with your own variant, but some we've had fun with: Grab & Win: When they fall, you grab them, and the person who has the most wins. Super fun and chaotic! Jenga Style: First person to make them all fall loses. A little tougher for the younger kids, works well with older ones. Free-Stack: Just a free-stack challenge to see how high you can build without the dice. Quite calming! Assembly Glue the printed color inlays into the recessed faces of the die. Slide the kelp tree securely into the rocker base. Start stacking! Print Instructions & Settings Nothing too complicated – just make sure your build plate is clean!  I've set it up at 0.28mm layer height to make it go quicker. Feel free to mess with this. I turned on support for the die in the uploaded profile. Feel free to remove - I've printed without supports as well, and it looks a little worse but is just as playable. Minimal AMS waste - all the beds are print-by-object, and only 4 layers on the Octopod rocker require multiple colors.
