Barbie Balance Beam by hackoholic

My daughter asked for a Barbie Gymnastics set from Target for her birthday. After purchasing the one she wanted (https://www.target.com/p/barbie-174-careers-gymnastic-coach-dolls-playset/-/A-52607245#lnk=sametab) and realizing how lack-luster it was, I decided I could do better. The result is this Balance Beam, a Pommel Horse and a Spring Board to make a nice DIY playset.

This is a nice, fairly scale size balance beam that can be printed in three sizes in case you have a small print bed. You can also mix and match to get a finished length that fits your needs.
I printed the beam in the same position it gets used in. This required me to use supports to keep the pockets for the legs supported. You could easily print upside-down or even vertically if you were brave. I've included a small Beam Half Test Piece if you want to experiment before committing to the full print.
