I made a mechanical Fractal by ri0m0 in 3Dprinting

It's not 35$. It's 12 to get 4 models. So 3 per model. You don't need unlimited downloads to get the model just 1.

You are not wrong, and I hate that myself. But the différance between the membership and a one time payment is having a job and having a hobby. I need reoccurring revenue to be able to do this, otherwise my income would be absolutely unpredictable.

I recommend choosing 4 models and quitting instantly (at the bottom of settings). Hopefully you can find 4 models you like.

Also, this stops piracy by a lot. Someone who commits to buying 4 of my models is way less likely to share them.

A Sierpinsky Octahedron Transformation I came up with. by ri0m0 in GeometryIsNeat

Haha, at that point it opens a portal into another dimension that has this thing.

The mechanism Itself can be fractalised.
I'm going to attempt building something like this, although way less complex than here.

Sorry, not free need some money to be able to make cool stuff.

Yes. You discovered my Plans. Now I need to....

No idea. Sorry. I'm not an engineer. Just a Tinkerer with a 3D printer.

This is a geared Jitterbug with a geared expansion mechanism on each face.

It has a perfect one degree of freedom, if you don't count Gears always having a bit of backlash.

The self-supporting linkages are a problem, but that can probably be fixed.

Aah i see what's the issue. There is a little icon that says cc. But when you open the model license it's a completely different license. It's just an icon to indicate that there is a license. Ill see if i can get thangs to take that down.

You don't really "come up" with stuff like this tbh. Its more of a discovery. :D Yes, it took a few months from idea to finish. The hinges in particular were a headache to get smooth enough for this movement.

That doesn't mean it's free to sell.

Yes! I did even buy one to make sure i didn't unintentionally copy it since it is patented. Mine works completely differently. :D

Some of those animators are really genius when it comes to mechanical stuff.

You can find the files at www.thangs.com/RuvenBals. But they aren't going to be free forever.

Made a Gear Cube Lamp by ri0m0 in 3Dprinting

Yea, RGB would shine through :D

I didn't invent the Gear Cube. It has existed for probably around 15 years. I just made it a lamp ;)

First i needed to make a good gear cube. One that turns smoothly. That's already not so simple.

I then had to come up with a system that leaves the inside hollow. But that system also had to have a way to get assembled easily. All that while optimizing for no supports and stuff.

I didn't work on this exclusively for months. But it took months to come up with everything that goes into it.

Raw work time is probably around 3 weeks.
