After publishing "Marblevator, Wave", a number of kinetic art wave mechanisms began showing up in my suggested video feed. All were beautiful yet quite large, so I decide to try my hand at making a micro kinetic art wave mechanism for 3D printing.
"MicroWave" is my attempt at a kinetic wave mechanism, in a very small form factor. The wave in this model consists of twenty four wave segments, each controlled by twenty four individual cams pressed onto a single camshaft. A gear motor rotates the camshaft, and as it rotates, each wave segment rises and falls in a sinusoidal motion.
Designed using Autodesk Fusion 360, sliced using Ultimaker Cura 14.12.1, and 3D printed in PLA on Ultimaker S5s.
