Swinging Snowman, PLA Spring Motor Style
cults3d
Winter is here (well, at least where I live) and snow is on its way (well, for some of us) and how best to celebrate the cold wintry weather by staying inside and printing a Swinging Snowman, PLA Spring Motor style! Complete with hat, eyes, earmuffs, buttons and a bow tie, this steampunk stylized thing utilizes a PLA Spring Motor (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:402412) and a clockwork style escapement mechanism to swing the snowman a couple of minutes or more per winding. No batteries, power supplies, motors, bearings or bushings are required. Video of prototype is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tj2_3SADafo&list=UUv_zm49u-RjnCJVwhUO-ecA&index=1. Designed using Sketchup 8, and printed in PLA on a Makerbot Replicator 2 using Makerware 2.3.3.42 "Standard" (.2mm layer height, 2 shells, 10% infill) setting
