3D model description

Greetings.

Today I want to introduce you to a continuous motion system, inspired by a gyroscope.

This system is experimental, so its operation is something completely new and unpredictable.


A gyroscope is a mechanical system that uses the movement of several rings interconnected in a certain way, in order to keep the center of the gyroscope stable. This allows that center to be used as a stabilization tool for various more complex mechanisms, such as aircraft, or submarines.

This is a somewhat basic description in a few words, since its operation is really very complex to explain, even for science itself.

A gyroscope uses the force of the internal rings, to keep its center stabilized.

I know this is not the correct description of how it works, but it is the way I see it, the way my mind understands it, and this is the way my idea comes from.

Is it possible to use that force?


My idea is basically to keep the center of the artifact "unstable", and seek to keep the artifact in constant motion, causing the force of the rings to move to the outside of the artifact, via an outlet.

I cannot yet say what it is possible to do with this force, and how much force the artifact is capable of generating, because until I see it in action, I will not be able to measure all this.

The model still requires several adjustments, I know that just by thinking about it, but I also know that it has a lot of potential.


As you may notice, I don't have images of the artifact already printed yet, due to the fact that I don't have my own printer.

I leave you a link to my YouTube channel where you can follow the project, find more information about it, and where I will upload images of the already printed model as soon as I have them.

If you are interested in the project, feel free to follow me, and please share your feedback and images so we can start working on the next version of this.

Thank you very much.

3D printing settings

The ZIP file has four print files in STL format, images of the objects and a small assembly guide.

The model is designed to have the size of a cube, therefore, its sides are equal. Scale to the desired size and keep the scaling percentage in all files equal.

The third file, corresponds to the ring system, it is very important to include Printing Supports in order to be printed in the proper way.

The fourth file also requires supports.

Print times will depend on the scaling percentage. At normal size and unscaled, Ultimaker Cura gave me a time of 1.5 hours per file.
