A collectible blogger charm for those who run social media and want a stylish accessory. The doll sets the vibe for the day: when you press the raised heart on her dress, a cylinder spins in the window displaying one of four answers: «IN THE RIVERS,» «ON THE HYPE,» «IN BALANCE,» or «OFFLINE.»
The mechanism operates without batteries: pressing the lever and the pin automatically rotates the ratchet by 90°; the locking mechanism holds the answer in the window, and a spring returns the button. The body is 3D-printed using a photopolymer printer, while the moving parts are made of steel wire and a micro-spring, and the charms are laser-cut. The project is designed for a small series of items.
