Featured on Hackaday!
I am the creator of the rotary dial project recently featured on Hackaday. I’m thrilled to finally release the files for the community!
A Rotary Dial The 3D Printed Way | Hackaday
Note: This is a mechanical model, not a functional telephone.
I focused on recreating the authentic "spin-and-return" action.
This model features a complete internal gear system and governor, allowing you to experience the complex engineering of a vintage dial right on your desk.
Key Features:
- Working Internal Mechanism: Functional gears and governor for a realistic feel.
- Retro Engineering: A great educational piece to see how old dials used to work.
- 3D Print Ready (3MF): Provided in 3MF format for easy setup and printing.
Feel free to download, print, and enjoy this piece of mechanical history!
If you like it, please leave a Boost or share your Makes. I’d love to see your printed dials!
