Have you ever wanted draw repeating geometric patterns at any time in any place? No? Well, let's pretend you did... This handheld print conveniently combines a drawing platform with a case for the gears and paper. It easily fits into a…
Created as a physical representation of nested hypocycloids . The .gcode was generated with the model scaled to 75% because it makes it a nicer size for fidgeting. If the nested version comes out fused together, you can download the…
The Hypocycloid Christmas Tree is formed by sweeping out 5-hypocycloids inside of a 6-hypocycloid, as their size tapers to zero. The two versions use 2 or 3 5-hypocycloids respectively. This design uses the pattern of the Hypocycloid Vase…
I saw the idea of the hypocycloidal clamp on Robert Murray-Smith YouTube channel, who has now sadly passed away, he was such an inspiration. The hypocycloidal gears Make great reduces, in this case 20/1, in my first version I had 72 to…
Inspired by the 5-hypocycloid that can "roll" inside of a 6-hypocycloid (as shown in the GIF). To make the vase design, the z-axis takes the place of time for a rotation. If you look from the right angle down the z-axis, you can see the…
Inspired by chriswal's Nema 17 Cycloidal Gear box prototype and Otvinta's tutorial I decided to give it a go and see if I could design and print a working hypocycloid reducer for Nema17 stepper with 11:1 ratio. I just basically scaled the…
Variable_Hypocycloid A way to convert rotation to an adjustable length linear motion on the fly; i.e. the stroke length can be changed while the machine is in motion. Giant steel and iron versions of this mechanism have been around for…
Multifunctional Arm – Universal Hypocycloid Clamp Connector Connector designed to integrate a Universal Hypocycloid Clamp with a Multifunctional Arm . The clamp is suitable for holding almost anything: a phone, camera, flashlight,…
Plateaus for mounting round 20 and 25 mm laser mirrors to a small DC motor. The mirror is angled at 4 degrees, so the mirror is wobbling. By beaming a laser across two rotating mirrors, and playing with the speed ratios, exciting…
My children were excited to see the illusion where an object could make lines move in straight lines but when added with the other points could appear that there is rotation happening. Reference the link below for a great explanation and…
