Simplicity Gears

A friend of mine was writing a computer program and needed a physical, and more tangible aide to visualize gear movements. He requested this be printed as soon as my printer arrived in May of 2016. I honored this request thinking such a simple mechanical device as a gear should not be so challenging. I was wrong to an extent. The failure was a simple one; I foolishly lowered the temperature of the hotend to the point where the extrusion stopped altogether. Not to be phased and running out of time in the early hours of the morning, I "pulled the plug". I removed the gears as they were and they looked pretty cool with the exposed honeycomb infill. I mounted them to a blank 1/2" plywood box that i had laying around with finishing nails. Placing them in such a random way proves to have an interesting effect when one expects the lines to line up at some point in the future. The effect is that they appear to be in chaos; randomly turning without returning to the original spot. Interesti
