Ripple

thingiverse

This mesmerizing palm sized kinetic sculpture mimics the motion of a drop of water hitting a still pool. Standing at only 8cm tall and with a diameter of only 10 cm it is a perfect desktop toy. There are two main assemblies; the upper assembly consists of the ripples, push rods and push rod guide, and the lower assembly which consists of the crank, cams and the frame. In total these two main assemblies consist of 51 pieces, all held together without fasteners. As daunting as 51 pieces may seem, the satisfaction of completing this print is well worth the effort. #####oddlysatisfying
