These gears are so cool! I noticed they don't really touch each other. I printed them in black and green and they snapped together beautifully! I used drayde's link redesign. Well done to both of you!
These gears are awesome!
Unfortunately some of the joint parts broke off when I tried to snap them into the holes. I tried to design a more robust version: http://www.thingiverse.com/thi...
Because the gears are elliptic and the holes are offset has you rotate the gears the crosslink does not have to move and holds the gears together.

Hmm, still need to calibrate, so I might have to print these again... Still look cool!
These look great! Since I don't have a 3d printer can anyone recommend a good place to have this fabbed?
These are a lot of fun. I loved the fact that printing the posts for the gear links sounded remarkably like one of the instrumental parts of "By-Tor And The Snow Dog" by Rush.
Well that depends on what you mean by working. Do they go around smoothly as designed? Yes. Do they do anything useful other than that? Nope. :)
does it work? :P
