Triple Geneva Mechanism Fidget (Print in Place)

This Geneva mechanism fidget uses 3 individual Geneva mechanisms, all mounted on the same hub to achieve a beautiful and synchronized motion.  A Geneva mechanism turns continuous rotational motion into precise intermittent step by step rotation, which is fun to watch and interact with. Despite it's complexity , I managed to design this model to be entirely print in place , meaning that is works right off the build plate with no need for any assembly or external hardware . To demonstrate how this fidget works , I included a GIF in the photos of this model. This fidget is probably my coolest looking design yet. It uses various techniques to achieve a polished and futuristic aesthetic that looks good while in use and on display . This Triple Geneva Mechanism Fidget takes surprisingly little filament for what it is. Using only 22.47 grams of filament and 70 minutes of time to print , this may just be the best fidget for any mechanism loving maker.
