Happy Easter! I thought to share this fun candy pooping bunny by Jason Allemann (JKBrickWorks), based on the recently released #31162 LEGO Creator 3-in-1 Cute Bunny set. If you follow Jason’s work, you might remember that he made a similar modification last year based on the #31133 LEGO Creator 3-in-1 White Rabbit.
If you would like to build the bunny yourself, Jason provides a free parts list and PDF instructions on his website. If you own the set, you only need 103 extra parts, which should be doable for most LEGO fans. You can get all the downloadable materials at JKBrickWorks.com.
Many of the design elements (legs, ears, tail) are directly from the original set, so if you have already built the bunny, you don’t need to rebuild them. The head is mostly the same as the original except for the pieces at the bottom where the head connects to the body. If you have the head already built, you can partially disassemble it and rebuild the bottom.
The mechanism is pretty much the same as the previous modification of the #31133 LEGO Creator 3-in-1 White Rabbit set, with some small improvements to durability. It consists of three tiered levels, each holding one pellet. When you press down on the bunny’s head, it pushes a shuttle that pushes the pellet on the lowest tier out through the tail flap, and each of the other pellets down to the next level.
The instructions show how you can make some LEGO pellets to use for ‘poop’, but you can also use regular Easter candies. The model is designed to hold three candies, but it could hold more smaller ones. Just be aware that the risk of it jamming increases if you do so. Obviously, the candies can’t be too large either. In the video below, Jason demonstrates how the bunny works.
I hope you have a chance to build this fun model! And you might also like to check out the following related posts:
