This clever device takes rotational motion as input when you turn the crank and delivers oscillating linear motion with ease. The inspiration behind this innovative creation is owed to a similar concept shared on reddit, which sparked an idea that I couldn't resist bringing to life. While some parts may be a snug fit, they're designed this way to ensure the box snaps together seamlessly. If you encounter any stiffness or catching during initial rotation, simply give it a few gentle twists and it will loosen up quickly. Unfortunately, a captivating video showcasing its functionality is currently unavailable due to technical issues with my computer. However, I invite you to use your imagination or better yet, try building one yourself – after all, that's the best way to truly experience its clever mechanics!
