Contains 12 pairs of gears (two gears glued together), a base board, and two end gears. Can you place the gear pairs on the right axles so that the gear on the first axle turns the seventh? It's harder than it seems, you will need all but one piece.

This is a fun design. Discover firsthand the mechanisms behind traditional police handcuffs. Be the envy of your maker buddies. Hang them up on the bedpost for nerd cred and possible BoingBoing mentions.

Tolerenced Gear Cube

In theory, this crazy octa-gear cube will actually rotate all eight gears at once. I'm not sure if the .025 inch tolerance is enough to keep the parts from sticking together, but I'll be printing my on model shortly to find out. Otherwise, this is a reflection of total balance. Eight parts moving together in eight different directions. Would be a nice part to show off in an engineering class.

This is the same as the first gear cube, it's just a smaller scale. This one has about a 2" by 2" by 2" footprint, whereas the first on had about a 5" by 5" by 5" footprint.

This pretty little moon pendent works as a great key chain or necklace charm.
