Perpetual Motion, da Vinci Style
myminifactory
UPDATE: I'm truly sorry if I miscommunicated this thing's true nature as it has drawn numerous complaints that it is not perpetual motion, some of which have been quite hostile. This thing is an optical illusion created for entertainment purposes only and therefore cannot be considered perpetual motion. My sincerest apologies to those who believed I was indicating that this thing truly possesses perpetual motion capabilities. Unfortunately, its deceptive nature has upset a few people here on the forum and on YouTube. Again, my sincerest apologies to those offended by the post of this thing. Perpetual motion on your desktop!

In RichMac's instructions, he stated "Perpetual motion doesn't seem to work, what am I doing wrong?" Well, I believe I've found the answer (see instructions)! Designed with Sketchup 8, printed in PLA on a Makerbot Replicator 2 using Makerware 2.3.3.42 "Standard" settings.
