I was surprised and honored that they would want to use my design. I thought I’d share it with you all.

You gotta like this!

I sat down to replicate it and found I had not enough 1 X 1 Technic bricks with 5 studs, nor 1 X 2 offset plates.

Careful use of available parts, plus Technic 1 X 1’s with hole, 1 X 2’s with 2 holes, Technic pins, and tiles in place of offset plates (not to mention a few attempts) resulted in a very nice replica.

Remember those sand-filled stress relief balls? Well this sphere is the next logical step. It fits in the palm of your hand, holds up well to squeezing, and has just a wee bite to it.

Thank you.
