Perpetual Motion, da Vinci Style
cults3d
I am genuinely sorry if this thing was misrepresented as perpetual motion, given numerous complaints it's not, some being quite hostile. This thing is an illusion and intended for entertainment purposes only, thus it is not perpetual motion. My sincerest apologies to those who believed I was indicating that this thing truly was perpetual motion. It's just an illusion that unfortunately upset a few people here and on YouTube. Again, my sincerest apologies to those offended by the post of this thing. Perpetual motion comes alive on your desktop!

In the instructions for RichMac's version, he stated "Perpetual motion doesn't seem to work, what am I doing wrong?" Well, I think I discovered the answer (see instructions)! This thing was designed using Sketchup 8 and printed in PLA on a Makerbot Replicator 2 using Makerware 2.3.3.42 "Standard" settings.
