I think the nautilus gears could be used for an axe mechanism on a combat robot. The variable gear ratio could be used to overcome the initial inertia to get the axe moving, then accelerate it faster and faster before impact.

Umm. They scale to a 1 to 1 ratio. yes the force is higher ifyou drive it starting from the gear meshing from the small end but there isn't any sort of "gearability" (if that makes sense) to increase its lift capacity. Plus it would have to be metal if its going to be a sturdy, long lasting robot.

Angus, rewatching this video after a couple of years makes me think of when I first learned about 3d printing. I just want to say that your channel has been a big inspiration to me becoming a mechanical engineering student, and even in high school I looked to your videos to troubleshoot my school's printers, find cool prints, and help build our local makerspace. I really look forward to see what you come out with next.
Fantastic showcase Angus. The Nautilus Gears were one of my very early prints and I was so happy when it turned out perfectly. Since then I've printed most of the models here, yeah gears fascinate me too. Those I haven't printed yet are definitely on my 'to print' list.

Printed the Nautilus Gears and the Gear bearing right now both turned out great without any rafts or support on any of them. Thanks for sharing! :D
I’M FINALLY GETTING A PRINTER!!! I’m SOOO exited. My first idea was to make a clip on my phone case for custom attachments.
Okay, that last cube from Emmett had me like "whoa :o" Love this piece
Thanks Angus. I'm always looking for machines like this and you can print out.
One of the first things I ever printed was Emmett's gear cube. A couple of things to note, this comes with different files with differing ratios of teeth. Also, after several attempts with different lubricants, I found that good ole Vaseline works wonders. It keeps the cube from making a squeaking noise when rotated. Simply apply to the pins and you are good to go!
Great video! When I was working at as technician at Texas Instruments and I guess before steppers were cheap, there was a tool that would inspect the four sides of an PLCC IC and it used the geneva mechanism to orient each of the four side towards the inspection camera.
Feeling quite inspired after watching this Angus, thanks! Just started printing the Gear Bearing on my MK3!
Thanks for producing and posting this video. It as my introduction to 3D printing. Very cool!
That gear cube is relatively popular in the cubing community. It’s called a gear shift and usually comes black with stickers of different colors on each side.

Hey Angus, "Darles Chickens" here, great video! I designed the triangle bearing gears with you in mind, so thanks for the inspiration. Hopefully you can get the print to work! Slooooow that printer down, cowboy! I shot you an email.

I've been printed the HELLRAISER gear cube I don't know how many times. People just love it, and considering the HELLRAISER cube does transform in the movie, that adds an extra layer of coolness to it. Thanks to the two people who made this model a reality. :)
I think the last model was based off of oskar van daventer's gear shift puzzle
Have to admit I use three of those to show off my printer a LOT (Nautilus gears, gear bearing and the classic cube gear). As a steampunk magician I forsee the iris box being used to present a few tricks so thank you for bring it to the forefront. NOW how many of us also send people to Makers Muse as an example of a creative person who is generous and wise and an awesome KZread channel?
Very cool. I used a couple of these when I did a 3D printing workshop at a local craft store a while back. Great examples!
I printed the Iris box back in 2016 and took it to every maker faire ever since...people are always stunend by it!
Fun Fact: Emmet's Gear Cube was actually featured in the last scene of the Wily Castle in Mega Man 11, but at an angle.

Dont buy the Tevo Tornado. I bought it and its needs to much tuning to suceed a decent print. If you dont mind spending money a Ultimaker would really blow your mind. If thats too expensive you should buy a Prusa i3 mk3 (or another version) If thats too expensive too I would recommend a Chinese printer and buy the Cr-10(s) or JGAurora A5 Prisewise the JGAurora is the best Best results you will get from the Ultimaker(5). Dont buy a SLA printer for the first one

Just to confuse the issue - my Tornado worked out the box and and as my first 3D printer I couldn't be happier. Really decent community of people to help you tinker with it as well (I'm drawing a line between tuning and tinkering) as well. However, I'll agree some people have had a bit less luck. CR10(s) was what I'd settled on - but Tornado is significantly cheaper if you can grab a sale and has better mains-powered bed (so trade those points off against maybe needing to adjust on arrival). Maybe other advantage is new Tornados come with Makerbase Gen-L board - I didn't get one, but bought one for about $15 and then maybe $25 for a set of TMC stepper drivers which I'm going to have a play with over the weekend... ...maybe the problem is defining what's meant by a "starter printer". Do you want to just print something - or have a hankering to learn to compile some Arduino firmware and build your own DuPont connectors? Personally I think the important thing is just to pull the trigger and get yourself a nice cheap Chinese model. You'll learn a lot and whatever you buy you'll: 1) Decide whether or not printing is for you 2) If 1=Love, then decide you need a better printer. Then you can embark upon the eternal question of whether to buy yet more bits to swear at as they initially don't work - or just bite the bullet and get a Prusa (which as far as I can see is universally accepted as the best value printer in existence).

Eric Ka I also have an Anet A8 with a glass bed, and I have spent a good deal of time getting it tuned perfectly. It has a few of the standard mods such as frame stiffeners and belt tensioners. I have successfully printed all of these models without rafts. It took me 4 attempts at the iris to finally get one that worked, probably because I was using a cheap PLA. But hey, it worked! And who says you can't get great prints with an A8? Rubbish!
I’ve printed all these accept for the Geneva mechanism. They are all so amazing especially the Iris box

I love that nightshade filament too!
Great selection of mechanical prints Angus. The gear cube has been a favourite with visiors, its eye catching on the shelf and they grab it and soon after exclaim "no way!" or "holy sh*t!" when it moves. Add a small amount of Super Lube or dry PTFE lube when you assemble, spining parts to ensure lube spreads and print imperfections get smoothed. Apart from being just cool these designs showcase how possible it is to take constant rotation and apply it in a different direction or different way. Good for sparking ideas and for designing practical builds like tracking mounts for photography, astronomy, solar projects for starters.
Thanks bro its so satisfying😮
Great video. I just got my first 3D Printer last week (Cr 10 mini). I’ll definitely try out some of them
Some really cool parts, I can't wait to show off the Polyjet printed item I've built, (although with the world hitting pause, I only have my working prototype to fondle for the foreseeable future.)
Geometric vases are my favorite quick, unfailable, demo prints as you can get a fairly large print in half an hour. Specially around xmas where the can server as decorative bulbs that can slip over standard mini lights, just print in something at least semi-translucent. Some of my favs for this Geaornament, thing:38948 Geoflower, thing:982849 Round geoflower remix, thing:1199549 SPIRAL vase, thing:481259

It's amazing to see people amazed by the Geneva mechanism. Other mechanisms are interesting as 3D printable toys, but the Geneva mechanism could very well be built with a wood panel and common power-tools. It has been used in the industrial worlds for more than a century, now.
Printed the Iris box on my DIY Prusa clone and it took a bit of fettling and sore fingers but I got it to work OK, nice video, next the gear bearing.
Fantastic video. You just keep convincing me I think I'm going to have to get a 3D printer.
