These are a couple levers for the KiMe kinetic sculpture by Noci. I had a lot of trouble getting the original levers to engage properly for my build, so I tried to modify them slightly.

Often times, the front lever just wouldn't touch the back lever at all. I ended up increasing the height of both levers slightly by about a millimeter or two so they had a better chance of coming into contact with each other.
I then noticed that while this helped both levers contact each other, it often didn't have enough power to go far back enough to toggle the release disc. After many, many iterations, I just ended up adding a second toggle arm to the front lever itself further down to catch onto the release disc.
I will note: this solution makes the levers drag on each other a little bit, so it makes a little springy click sound each time they pass over each other. This might be a bit annoying to some, but I'm just glad it works as the model originally intended.
Occasionally the front lever will go too far and get snagged behind the back lever, so this is not a perfect solution by any means. This will get you most of the intended functionality of the original design, so if it works it works.

I've included two back levers and two front levers. I've had mine snap a couple times from the force of the springs, so feel free to print an extra, or just delete it. The two front levers are slightly different in height. Both seem to work for me, but in case you want to experiment, feel free to try either of them. 

I printed this on my Snapmaker U1 with 5 wall loops and 100% infill, just to be sure they're really durable. I have also used a 0.1 mm hole compensation, as I have increased the contour compensation of the discs also by 0.1 mm for my print. If you aren't adjusting your disc compensation, feel free to turn that off.
