About this model
Come see me at the San Fransisco Maker Faire May 18-20, 2018! I will be presenting my Mechanical Laser Show at my booth in the "dark room". I'd be happy to answer any questions and you can play with my toys. *** Helical Gear Cups: These cups have an outer surface that is a helical gear. Each horizontal cross section (like the top surface) is normal gear. Each layer beneath is rotated slightly such that makes the teeth form a helix. Think DNA double helix, except with 12 and 20 teeth. The second helical cup is also a cage gear. This means that the teeth are freestanding and only connected at the top and bottom. It is surprisingly strong and has very little deflection when squeezed firmly. The removed surface would not have contacted the opposing gear and therefore has no effect on smoothnes…
