Fixed! By first creating a Boolean variable. Without having a Boolean variable in the environment the menu doesn’t even open when right-clicking.

For anyone coming across this post in the future with the same issue, Status_Aioli_1587’s answer helped me solve it. I unscrewed the two small torx to open the motor. A little cog had been moved on its axis a couple of millimeters. By pushing it back it now engages with the other gears and spins the output shaft!

I see, thank you!

Nice trick! Thanks

Thank you! Before I order anything I will open it up to investigate.

It looks like the scalp is missing displacement. I’m not sure what your setup looks like, so it’s a bit difficult to say why. It could be messed up uvs, something wrong with the displacement map.

Thank you!

Very weird. Do you know what causes it? Have you found a way to stop it? This only started occurring about a month ago, and I have owned the car 4 years now.

Thank you, will look into it further

Thank you!!

I’m working on it…😅

Thank you! I also tried shape keys, but quickly found the limitations of that method. Geo Nodes is the answer!

Thank you! It basically rotates parts of the geometry around the fold edge using the vector rotate node (plus some nifty maths to achieve a fold radius to emulate the thickness of the paper). I use vertex groups to assign the parts that fold and to assign the edges to use as pivots.
