3D printer file info

3D model description

There are 3 sides to every story. This kinetic sculpture hides a message within a seemingly random pattern of lines and zigzags. A message that couldn't be more true in todays climate of misinformation and propaganda.

Using bevel gears and levers, this 2 degree-of-freedom mechanism can rotate and tilt the zigzag pattern to help you find truth and clarity in the otherwise meaningless labyrinth. There is where freedom lies.

Prints on all standard printers, require no additional tools/materials to assemble. WD-40 is recommend for smooth operators.

This video shows how to assemble this kinetic sculpture: https://youtu.be/J6lZCzxIrD8
