The file 'Motion Study/experiments 3D Printer Model' is (IGS,SLDPRT,STL,ai) file type, size is 1.2MB.
We’ve been experimenting with mechanical motions borrowed from braiding machines and figured out a way to lasercut and assemble a hand-cranked version.
There are “boats†that are carried through a track by a disc attached to intersecting gears, making them go around in an extended 8-shape pattern.
It’s not really done yet, tweaking and expanding still remains - feel free to do so. But we think the hardest part is solved, figuring out the pathing and “behaviour†of the boats.
