ah wow this thing is huge!

Made this on a Mendel, little bit of sanding and it works great.

Then connected it to a Dremel and revved it up to 8000 rpm :)

And of course a video.

Status update: was able to download dxf and import into Corel Draw and with lots of

massaging - it's ready for the laser... about 6 layers then assembly. ;)

Thanks!!!! Anxious to give them a try!!

Would be worth a try... I could then import into Corel... don't need a handle... and it

wouldn't be as thick.. overall.. layers of 1/8" or 1/16" acrylic. and the sun gear would be

thicker and extend through a round hole in the bottom and set into the "handle" which is

just a circular piece with the same gear hole in the middle to "lock" the gear to to "handle".

When the "handle" is rotated, it rotates the sun gear and inturn moves the "triangle"...

and the triangle has a cover over it....

Great idea! Any chance of posting a DXF, SVG or CDR file for us Laser lovers? I could still

build up a 3D model from stacked acrylic or delrin and fashion a "flat" crank from acrylic on the

back with one simple DXF file... Thx, Gmt

This is great! I've had my ToM for about a month and this is the first mechanism I've printed that I didn't have to modify in any way (I usually have to trim edges or expand holes, etc). Excellent design that is easily capable of showing how the mechanism works!

Of course, I didn't notice until after posting this that there is already one here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thi...

Were you reading my comment on the rotor? http://www.thingiverse.com/thi... LOL

I was about to post where's the eccentric shaft, but I see it now! Post pictures when you get it printed!
