Mechanical Gear Ratio Fidget
Experience the physics of motion in the palm of your hand with the SKS.3D.WS Gear Ratio Fidget! This unique sensory tool isn't just a spinner—it’s a mechanical demonstration of gear reduction and increase. Depending on which gear you drive, you can watch the secondary stack spin with lightning speed or move with deliberate, high-torque precision.
Designed for those who love mechanical engineering and rhythmic motion, this "stacked" gear system provides a fascinating visual and tactile contrast. As you rotate the main gear, the synchronized movement across the different ratios creates a hypnotic effect that is perfect for deep focus, stress relief, or STEM enthusiasts.
Gear ratio of 1:1.5 per or 1:0.67 per
FEATURES
- Variable Speed Feedback: Feel the difference in resistance between the high-speed and low-speed gear stacks.
- Synchronized Motion: Precision-meshed gears ensure smooth, continuous rotation without slipping or jamming.
- Print-in-Place: Engineered to be printed as a single, functional unit. No complex assembly or tiny pins required—just pop it off the bed and start spinning!
- Compact & Durable: A sturdy frame protects the internal gear teeth, making it a perfect pocket-sized EDC (Everyday Carry) tool.
PRINT INSTRUCTIONS
- General Layer Height: 0.2mm
- Walls: 3–4 perimeters to ensure the gear axles and teeth are rigid enough for thousands of rotations.
- Supports: Designed to be printed 100% support-free.
