Eccentric Sphere Gears

Description
Ok, this one is kinda meta. Continuing with the theme of making stuff into a set of gears, this is one large gear made of eight smaller ones. I used the involute gear script that was already in the scad file from the Eccentric Sphere Gears script and its predecessors, and made a gear to cut the other gears out of. I basically mashed it up with itself.
Instructions
Print one center and two of each gear. Gears 1 and 2 are one side (2 of each make up one flat surface) and gears 3 and 4 are the other side. Use 16-18mm M3 screws for the large gears, 18-20mm for the small.

This is just dying for a "YO DAWG" comment.
Now that you've got this down to an art, apparently, you should do one with a person's head... it would be very MC-Escher meets Rube Goldberg.

yo dawg we heard you like gears so we put gears in your gears so you can mesh while you mesh. (Sorry it had to be done, awesome design)

Cause he's MC-Escher yo. Word. But that was back in the day, he dropped the MC and is just Escher now.
So which is it? Bre-Gear or Walt-Gear? Brainy-Walt-gear?
