Description

I have always been fascinated with the beauty of intermittent motion, specifically the motion generated by a Geneva wheel and cam. one day i saw a Geneva mechanism hung on a wall at a museum of old machinery and I was inspired to make this design

 

to create this you will need the following:

To assemble, follow the video below, however you do not need to insert the pegs into the cams, the pegs are now implemented into the cams to reduce assembly

To install the motor you will need to de-solder the PCB from the motor's pins. Now you can connect, using wires, the positive pin on the motor to the pin labelled "VBUS" on the USB-C breakout board and the negative pin on the motor to the pin labelled "GND" on the USB-C breakout board.

 

this model can be hung using regular screws, nails or hooks by the provided mounting points on the back, i have found that hooks work best, closely followed by 2mm diameter bullet head nails, mounted at a 30 degree angle upwards off the wall, sticking out between 2 and 6mm

 

if you want to support me to keep making things like this, please boost this creation!
