Trammel of Archimedes

myminifactory

Hey, I'm a designer without a printer right now. Still, if my models need some tweaking, let me know and I'll do my best to fix it up. Thanks! Don't forget to share pictures of your printed models! Print two Slider Blocks and one Base and one Arm. The Base has a 45-degree overhang, so be sure to add the necessary support. Assembly: Slide the Blocks into each axis of the cutout in the Base. Place the Arm on top of the Blocks and insert a toothpick or similar object through the hole of the Arm into the hole of the Block. Push the toothpick as far down as possible, then trim off any excess. Rotate the Arm to enjoy a modern twist on Archimedes' classic idea. If needed, add some oil for smoother operation. Edits: 8/20/17: Added a cut-down Base option that uses less material: "Base-Reduced.stl".
