This is a cam driven kinetic sculpture that reveals a message through an intricate mechanical motion. The curved segments are carefully positioned using the specifically design geometry of the cams.  With 3 different symbols based on 3 different cam and follower positions, a beautiful message is revealed.

Made almost fully using 3D printed parts, along with some bearings and screws, this whole sculpture can be assembled in just minutes and can bring a serious wow factor to any birthday, valentines day, anniversary, or any other occasion where it's appropriate to share the simple phrase 'Eye Love U'
