Sine Ripple Toy Hand Cranked

Study STL before printing. You will need one pin0 or twelve pins to complete the job. Ensure that bunched-up parts are split while plating these items. Use your slicer or "Split to Shells" in Meshmixer for this purpose. Note that it may take some heating and bending at the base of the pins to get all pins pointing straight up. I had to loosen the holes a bit so I can insert pins if they cause a ring to hang and need adjustment/cleaning. Make sure it's 90 degrees before you glue, and glue with the pins inside top STL pair by pair. The original idea is great but unprintable due to fragile structures, excessive cleaning, and too much material. It only spins one way. Watch this video: https://youtu.be/9Y8ZmZ1SVv0. This model was possibly copied from here: http://youtu.be/ZqzjAmPFND8. If you think "dice!", it's not suitable for that purpose. I added a static border to the top and glued three dice in place, but the motion is too linear and the dice rarely turn on a second axis. Nevertheless, I like your thinking! If you print this model and enjoy it, please upload it to Make and consider showing your appreciation with a tip!
