Another recursive mechanism - this time the distances between boxes alternate getting longer and shorter, so the boxes move diagonally! Full video: https://youtu.be/ckrrQTkTqIo

A "recursive" mechanism, where the position of each part is determined by the positions of the previous two parts in the chain. Full video at

One thing that really, really, really #grinds my #gears
Why online #news #sites #articles about new #laws NEVER SEEM TO #LINK TO THE #ACTUAL FUCKING LAWS. Same with #court decisions.
This stuff is #public record and it shouldn't be hard to produce a link to the hard #source
But it's a fucking teeth pulling chore every time.

Despite learning engineering from her dad, not an academy, Nele was a genius at creating machines. With an inventive mind and boundless energy, she filled her own workshop with countless gizmos. Each one, a testament to her creativity and tireless tinkering. A young master of creation, making the world her playground.

We have a timed water switch I cracked open to see if it could be repurposed into an #ESPHome device. This is totally water powered: setting a time pushes open the valve, water is directed to spin blades, a bunch of gears turn, which eventually spins final gear with cam that closes valve. Clever!
Not a very dry environment, don't think I’ll be hooking it up to #HomeAssistant. ‘;^)

So, I applied this gear design to a #3DPrint dial with a pressure-fit cap and two 3D printed clips. This allowed the #motor to drive the needle on the other side through the #gears.
The gears are a 3:1 ratio, and they're double-stacked, so that's 3^2 or 3*3 or 27x. That brings our 7.5 degree/100 fps margin of error down to 0.3 degree/3.5 fps, which is perfectly acceptable.
Mechanical Cats!
Oh, no! These aren't Steampunk Cats, these are Cats of gears and levers and grease! They squeak when you pet them, they groan when you scritch their bellies!
Happy Caturday!

#3DPrinting #TruncatedOctahedron #Gears Yay! I finally solved the "simple" problem.
It was indeed obvious once I knew the answer. Not much complicated maths at all once I found out that I needed to use the logarithmic spiral formula:
x = 𝑟⋅𝑒^(−y⋅𝑠𝑖𝑛(𝜌) / 𝑛)
z = 𝑟 − 𝑟⋅𝑡𝑎𝑛(𝜌)

Screw/screw gearing viewed from the side - you can see the teeth meshing together in the middle.

A geared mechanism in which the "gears" follow screw motions rather than rotate. Full video at https://youtu.be/0ZPo3HxR0KI

Yay! Have a look at that video!
If you're a geek, you'll love spending 6 minutes watching this video. You'll find out far more about the mechanics of simple gears than you ever realised existed!
