Description

If you stare at it too long you will time-travel into the future and we won't be able to bring you back.

 

Yes, there is a Twirly Gig for the A1 MINI!

 

Prints without an AMS and uses minimal supports on just a few pieces (and they are easy to remove). It can be set up to run from a TT Motor with speed controller (both available through the Bambu store) or with a hand crank.  If you are building it with the hand crank, you do not need to print the plate with the motor parts, and vice-versa. 

 

If using the TT motor, the speed controller is also required.  If you don't use the speed controller, the motor spins too fast.

 

This is the third in a series of Twirly Gig kinetic sculptures by Jim Larsen. This third version has been updated with a new attachment method for the discs that does not depend on printed threads.  If you have printed one of the previous versions you can still use the base and gears from the older versions if you preplace the upper shaft with the new one found here.

 

See it in motion here:

If you like kinetic sculptures you can find more in my Twirly Gig collection.

 

All models now include a print profile for the A1 Mini.
