Old Style Windmill
cults3d
This design draws inspiration from old windmills that used to grind wheat into flour, and its visual appeal has always struck me as particularly scenic. I was surprised when I couldn't find a similar design on Thingiverse. I created this design in Autodesk Inventor after going through several iterations to find the right gear ratio. Eventually, it dawned on me that using two identical-sized gears would mesh well together. The pictures and video provided only show the top two layers and an alternative gear ratio. You can see the videos here: https://youtu.be/sdCS0PC_TcQ, https://youtu.be/cmogc6ig7o8 The gears do not mesh perfectly, which results in some friction. However, once the top is removed, it spins quickly. The model I uploaded should not have this problem.
