Timur's Gear Corner Turning Octahedron

grigr

Some time ago I made 2 sketches of Gear Corner Turning Octahedron and asked the community what version they'd prefer to be built. Most said that the one with central face elements would be better. So, here it is.

All gears (corners and edges) have the same angular diameter and 8 teeth, but due to their different nature they turn differently. The geared basement under the moving layer has 20 teeth, so after one full turn-around all involved gears flip by 180°. This repeated again, brings the puzzle to the original state.

This design has a deep and secure gears interconnection and never skips gears (at least I could not do this when I intentionally tried).

The model is available at my Shapeways shop: http://www.shapeways.com/model/519286/

齿轮魔方太强了...   有没有国产的..

有国产的， 只不过除了蓝蓝的齿轮粽子以外都是仿的。。。

很独特的设计，期待更多好的作品，不知道这款能不能量产上市呢？

虽然这样已经无比强大。但要是能像齿轮2阶那样中间再能拉开……
那会是什么样。。

想法很好，期待你能制作做来。

齿轮魔方一族越来越丰富了

烟头哥，有没有计划设计个齿轮神马的？话说最近掀起了一阵齿轮热啊！
