This is a thing of the Gear-xxxhedron collection.
Description:
The gears are not rotating because a triangular mesh will not rotate. Give it to a friend and he will get a knot in his mind ;-)
New:
The standard pinpeg is to long for the center piece. I have adjusted the scad library to make shorter pins. Right now, the pins are ever not optimal for. You need to help with a knife and glue to insert in the center.
Howto:
Print 1 center, 4 pins. 4 Gears must be the same STL-file! You will select different numbers of teeth and gear positions. For one gear tetrahedron you have to print 4 gears of the same STL.
Can be printed in PLA or ABS, as you like. Pins are recommended in ABS if you like.
