Leonardo's Elevator Mechanism Design for 3D printing based on Leonardo da Vinci's drawing in the Madrid I codex. A small video of the assembly process can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lVRZZ5ib8g A real-life video of the mechanism in operation can be found here: https://youtu.be/jMmGgYap2BM Hello, I designed this miniature model based on a drawing by Leonardo da Vinci recorded in the Códice Madrid I. This design is optimized for easy assembly, with only minor adjustments needed to remove excess material from the base of the pieces. Support structures are required throughout the model. Only the small holes need support, making it easy to remove once printed. The blue colored separator pieces must be designed with a spiral shape. The body, wheel, and pulley should have 45% infill and print at a speed of around 40 mm/s. All other pieces can be printed with 100% infill and at a speed of 30 mm/s. For small holes, we use filament with a diameter of 1.75 mm. We need approximately 10 mm long pieces. To create the axle, heat the tip until it's slightly flattened, then repeat on the other end. This will prevent the axle from coming loose. Thank you for viewing my object. Any questions or comments are welcome. I've included two files of the same piece: "Pies" and "dospies." The rendering shows a mangled mesh, but it prints correctly in the cutting software.
