Valentine Buzzsaw

thingiverse

Here's yet another heart-shaped gear toy that drives a tiny buzzsaw with a 3:1 gear ratio! Feel free to ponder this Valentine's Day metaphor or simply enjoy using it to "saw" things. The entire thing snaps together - just insert the gears (see exploded view) and press-fit the connecting bar onto the axles. Note that the gears may initially be a bit stiff, but they loosen up smoothly with each turn. In the near future, I might add some design pattern to the back for added visual interest.
