Description
Archimede's do nothing machine. This was one of my biggest projects. It took a lot of iterations to get right.

How to print:
I have attached print profiles in one plate, and three plates. Print with your normal settings. 0.2mm layer height. Use a brim for the c-clips.
You will need to print two c-clips, one guide (the plus rail), and two sliders (the pieces that slide into the rail), and one handle.
Assembly:
Insert the two sliders, one in each line. Place the handle, aligning its two holes and pushing them carefully throught the probes on the sliders. Then, attach the c-clips. Be careful as the probes can snap. Tight tolerances are required for the c-clips.
