Txog MoFU Mighty Omega Folding Universe Khoom Ua Si Kev Xav

Morphits (yav tas los hu ua MoFU) yog cov khoom ua si hloov tau uas muaj ob lub hom phiaj ua si ntse. Cov khoom ua si zoo li lub thawv duab plaub fab no tuaj yeem rub tawm ntawm lub thawv kos thiab nthuav tawm mus ua ntau yam tsiaj xws li npua, liab, tsov, hippos, thiab twm. Txhua tus tsiaj muaj nws tus yam ntxwv ntxim hlub thiab txawv, ua rau lawv yog cov cim ntxim nyiam. Txawm li cas los xij, qhov nyuaj tiag tiag yog nyob rau hauv kev muab cov Morphits rov qab mus rau hauv cov duab plaub fab kom raug, uas yuav tsum siv lub hlwb los daws qhov kev ua si ntse ntawm kev muab lawv rov qab rau hauv lawv lub thawv kom haum.

Yam Tshwj Xeeb: MoFU are transforming toys that are also brainteaser puzzles. Starting as identically shaped cuboids that slide out of boxes on drawers, each MoFU unfolds into a different kind of animal - pig, monkey, tiger, hippo, and giraffe. Each animal is its own character with cute and iconic features, but each is also a distinct puzzle. Folding a MoFU back into the correct cuboid shape so it can perfectly fit back into its box is a brainteasing challenge.
Qhov Loj & Ntim: 85mm x 70mm x 60mm when folded in their 3D-printed boxes and at their most compact. Dimensions change with various poses. The maximum possible height is the fully unfolded giraffe at 370mm, and the minimum possible height is a fully recumbent monkey at 35mm.
Cov Ntsiab Lus: Toys, Animals, Ecology, Recycled, Plastic, Geometric, Abstract, Transforming, Brainteaser, Puzzle
Thev Naus Laus Zis Tsim Khoom: MoFU are 3D-printed using 100% recycled PET plastic from water bottles using selective laser sintering (SLS) 3D printing. The 3D-printed pieces of the toy are united by elastic bands which run through the center of each piece. The pieces are finished with polyshot surfacing and deep-dye coloring for safe use by children and maximum lifespan.
Kev Sib Tw Tsim Qauv: I had to think about the shape of each piece very carefully and how it could fit with its neighboring piece like a three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle. Additionally all of the pieces had to be folded together into the rectangular shape of their box.
Kev Tshawb Fawb: Each piece of each toy had to be precisely shaped to fit with its neighboring piece like a 3D jigsaw puzzle. Pieces that approximate parts of an animal body must also be folded and nestled in a specific way, fitting perfectly together to revert to a cuboid shape.

Finding the perfect tension of the elastic bands was difficult as the pieces must freely rotate and fold, but not be at all loose. The holes bored for the bands had to be precise to the half-millimeter for the toy to function properly.
Kev Txhawb Siab: Japanese origami, Kumiki puzzles, Transformers.
Lub Sij Hawm Ua Hauj Lwm: MoFU project development started in Brooklyn, NY in April 2018. The first animal, a pig, was created in May 2018; the monkey was finished in September 2018; the tiger in December 2018, the hippo in March 2019, and the giraffe in Jun 2019.
Txheej Txheem Ua Hauj Lwm: MoFU emerge from identically shaped boxes, but each transforms into a different animal figure with articulated joints. Elastic bands form the animals' tendons and ligaments, allowing maximum transformability and infinite possible poses.

The toys are figurines, but they are also puzzles with varying degrees of difficulty. Folding them back into the correct cuboid shape so that they can fit back into their boxes ranges from simple for a child hippo to difficult for an adult monkey.
