Spiro Machine

cults3d

Hi! What's this? This is a hand cranked drawing machine inspired by some Spiro-drawing machines I've seen lately. I couldn't find anything fully printable, so I decided to make my own version. Why do I love this machine? 100% printable - except for markers and paper sheets! Hand cranked! But maybe it's easy to plug in a DC motor. No supports at all. I hate supports. Fun and addictive. Those gears, loops, and mechanics are highly addictive (at least for me). Surprises inside. Explore with gears, combinations, and you'll find some surprising patterns. Or discover ugly and messy drawings! What am I downloading? A ZIP file with all the STLs. Many STL files uploaded as a ZIP, organized in folders. A PDF assembly guide. A step-by-step assembly process with pictures and some tips. Please read before asking questions in comments. The STLs are in the ZIP file; just attach some STL files to publish this thing! Hope you enjoy printing, assembling, and drawing this one! Have fun! Advice: Please tell me in comments if there's any missing file or can't print something. After renaming and organizing the STLs, I'm afraid I might have forgotten something (hopefully not, but Murphy's always lurking).
