SELECT the body base and the short squatty cylinder that we added it to it. GROUP them so that they become one piece and make them SOLID. If you're following along with me and making the Moai Bobblehead, make the box: 5.75 x 13.5 x 34mm H.

NOTE: If you used a different shape for the base that already had a flat bottom, you can skip this step and just make your chosen shape 4-6mm tall.And yes, all four Jesus bobbleheads’ heads bobble — even the ornament. “You have to take it off the tree to have the maximum bobbling,” Sklar said. When slicing the spring file in Print Studio, be sure to include supports. This will ensure quality, long lasting bobble action from a well printed spring. Bobbleheads are mailed to the museum daily. Some are already in the museum’s holdings, but some are not and are cataloged, indexed and spruced up for display. Some are relatively rare. Sklar said the typical rare bobblehead might have been a small batch commissioned by a minor league baseball team as a game-night giveaway to honor a current or former player.

In a Dec. 9 phone interview with Catholic News Service, Sklar said, “We’ve done some other (ornaments) but people really enjoy the bobblehead ornaments. so we thought we really should do one for Jesus.” Ta da! If you'd like, you can lightly sand (use 320 grit) or sandblast them to give them a more authentic 'stone' look before putting the parts together, like I did for the one I photographed for the main image. Next, we will be cutting off the bottom section of the second yellow head (the duplicate of the duplicate) and adding it to the bottom of the 'cavity' head, so that it will be long enough to cut all the way through the bottom of the main head, creating the opening we need to add the spring and give room for the bobbling to occur.

Bring a box in from the Basic Shapes menu and resize it so that it's bigger than the base. Move the new box so that it completely surrounds the base. Center the 44mm cylinder vertically between the head and base, so that there is equal amount of green on both ends. Then move it left or right to center it lengthwise in the head.

Yay!! Our parts are now complete! Now all that's left to do is reposition them and export them for printing! Use your fingers to pinch the supports together, releasing their tips from the spring's surface. This piece requires no further clean up. Bring a box onto the workplane and resize it so that it covers the second head from the top down view. My Bobblehead and body pieces on a MakerBot took just under 4 hours to print with a 25% interior fill. SELECT the left hand body + hole cylinder and GROUP them. This will leave the body with a spring sized hole in it! Repeat this process for the right hand side head/hole cylinder.Use your thumb to compress the spring, pushing down in all directions, to ensure that the end of the spring is flush with the bottom of the hole. Go the front view and select everything except the spring. DUPLICATE the shapes and move them to the right of the spring. Now we're going to remove the protruding features from the head that will be used to create the cavity in the original head.
