A kinetic sculpture made using my parametric bevel gear script inspired by this: http://www.brainblog.to/item/2008/11/herz-aus-zahnraedern
I modeled the entire thing from scratch in OpenSCAD, starting with the Parametric Involute Bevel and Spur Gear script I posted some time ago. I have added an additional complexity to the movement because not only do the gears spin, but the axes of the gears rotate too.
Being a kinetic sculpture, you really need to see it in motion:

Be warned that before you attempt to print this, an improved technique for attaching the gears to the central mount is really needed.
I have the openscad files for everything, although there are so many parts that it is a bit of a process generating the STLs from them.
If someone wants to collaborate on a better way to mount the gears, let me know.
