The Geneva drive or Maltese cross is a mechanism that translates a continuous rotation into intermittent rotation. The classic use of the design was in the movie projector. Each frame is advanced quickly and then retained in that position for a short time. This rendition rotates a pair of Vase Mode printed cylinders that slide in and out.
Thy cylinders have a design clearance (tolerance) of 1.5 mm. The cylinder designs are based on the instructional by Vladimir Murano (@DesktopMakes).
The DC motor is a servo motor that was modified to turn continuously be removing the servo controls and pin-stop.
