Description
*** Last Update October 30 2011 ***
I found that the large gear clip sockets were too deep- they came too close to the top of the part and I have quite a number of large gears with the corners snapped off.
SO I hacked them up in openscad, making the clips and sockets parametric.
I also added an option to round the corners so they can be given to small children.
I have rebuilt the center piece in openscad so now it can be made parametric, and have a proper clip socket profile.
I have arranged all the pieces into a plate. Approximate plate dimensions are 150x150mm.
TODO:
* redo the gears themselves in openscad using the excellent gears library in mcad, for a fully parametric cube gears!
WIP: not printed yet!

I printed this twice and the gears came out skewed. I'm almost positive it is some sort of problem with skeinforge. I've ordered a new mother board and extruder board which should arrive next week and I'll try to print these again.
