Differential gearbox for educational purposes. The original gearbox was designed by Thangs user "3D Designer". This is a modified version (remix with permition), so it can be 3D printed too, not only used in animation. Most of the objects needs support for 3D printing. The ring has two versions, one needs supports, the second don't needs supports, but your printer must be able to 3D print 45mm bridges and sacrifice layer has to be removed to get the hole (with knife or similar).

Educational object, to understand how universal joint works. 
Additionally needed:
M3x10 (or 12) bolt 8 pcs
M3 nuts 12 pcs
M3x14 or longer (for shaft) 4 pcs
Also, shafts can be printed in vertical position, for safer printing, they can be attached with thin line (this object is also prepared, included). 
Optional: I used small magnets to lock the holder to some metallic surface. Magnet dimensions: d8x3 mm, hole 3 mm, mounted with d2.5mm screw.

Universal Joint

Educational object, to understand backlash of the thread and how antibacklash nut works.
The spring object should be printed with some less brittle material (like PolyTerra PLA, PETG etc), but may work with regular PLA too.
Since the thread is opened (not continous), nuts should be printed in horizontal position using a supports. The bolt can be printed in vertical position.

Gear backlash explained. Addidionally needed:
M5x10 bolts 3pcs
M5x15 bolt 1pcs
small rubber ring
Optional: I used 4 magnets inserted in holder object during printing at 5.4mm layer height. Holes are designed for magnet dimensions: 5x5x5 mm cube. So it can be mounted to some metallic surface.
