Introducing Burst edition, the 3rd generation Mag Fed RBG. Achieve new levels of accuracy and reliability thanks to a fully redesigned mechanism. The model is simpler compared to its predecessor, requiring zero hardware and fewer printed parts. That means more fun, sooner!

Here is a St. Patrick's Day pot of gold with a little extra treasure inside 🌈 When assembled, this slinky gains a bit of a yo-yo/kendama vibe 😂 It is actually really fun to play with and only requires simple assembly (gluing).

**3D Print Settings:**
Layer Height 0.2mm
15% Infill
PLA works great
No Supports needed.

Dimensions of Small Pot of Gold Slinky: 3 in. x 2 ½ in.
Dimensions of Large Pot of Gold Slinky: 3 ½ in. x 3 in.

I am also attaching two 3mf files: one for the small Pot of Gold and one for the large. 

**Note**: When you go to preview the slinky in Bambu Studio you will get a warning that states: “Warning: It seems object POG Small (or Large) Slinky has floating cantilever. Please re-orient the object or enable support generation.” You can ignore this warning. The program is recognizing the space between each layer of the slinky. That ‘space’ is intentional and necessary to be able to separate the slinky when it is done printing. It will print fine without supports:)

**Tip**: I recommend multicolor filament (dual-color or tri-colored filament) or rainbow colored filament for the slinky. I used rainbow colored filament but just a heads up: to get all the colors of the rainbow in there I had to print 5-6 at a time because the color repeat on my spool was about 200g (the small slinky is ~32g and the large slinky is ~47g).

**How to assemble:**
Step 1: First, gently separate the layers of the slinky. After printing they will be lightly connected together. Gently separate them with your fingers or a non-sharp object like a butter knife. (See photo)
Step 2: Next, super glue the pile of gold to one end of the slinky. (See photo)
Step 3: Super glue the other end of the slinky to the bottom of the pot. This piece is loose inside the pot but is too big to come out. Set the pot on a small object (I used a spool of thread) to raise up the ‘bottom’ of the pot. Apply glue to the bottom of the slinky and then attach it to the bottom piece of the pot. Setting it on a bottle/spool isn't necessary but it makes the gluing process a little easier. (See photo)

Have fun printing!🍀
