Description
This is an interesting set of gears inspired by an illustration in a "Manual of Mechanical Movements." It has a big wheel with slots that a smaller gear wheel slides in.
The .prt files are Unigraphics files.
I originally made this during a class at the Solheim Rapid Prototyping Lab @ the University of Washington (Open3DP)
