Summary

This is a kinetic sculpture I designed after seeing a similar sculpture a few months ago.

The spirals rotate in opposite directions creating a pretty cool effect.

All pieces print without supports except the Spiral Gear.

Assembly:

1: Bolt together the Base, Front and Rear Panels, and the Bridge.
2: Place Crank Gear, Base Gear and Base Bevel Gear into the Base
3: Screw Nut onto Base Gear post
-NOTE: Do NOT over tighten
4: Place Front and Rear Bevel Gears facing inward and slide Bolt through to act as the
axle.
-NOTE: Do NOT over tighten
5: Rest Spiral Gear on the cradle near the top of the Front Panel
6: Slide Spiral Post through the Spiral Gear and the Bridge
-NOTE: Washers are optional to space out the spirals, and between the top gears
and bridge.
7: Slide Top Rear Gear onto Spiral Post
-NOTE: You want this to be a tight fit, as the Top Rear Gear acts as a nut.

Prints Counts:
Front and Rear Bevel Gear x2
Bolt x5
Nut x6
Everything Else x1

Much thanks to the creators of the gear, nut, and bolt generators I used.
