Helical Gear Kinetic Object

cults3d

This is a demonstration toy/object of helical gears. By correct combination of taper angles, the gears can be assembled at right angles. Simply print the parts (except for Gear32, which is only uploaded for reference), and assemble. Gear32 is split into two parts so that it can be formed as an interlocked loop with Gear24. The parts can be "locked" using standard 1.75mm 3D printing filament. This allows easy locking of parts without purchasing additional fasteners. One may decide to apply some glue, if necessary. This locking works well for most parts, but might be a little fragile to lock the Gear32 together (will try to design a screw-locked design in the future!).
