Description
I uncovered this strange artifact in my garden the other day. What is it? And why do I love it so much? See here for video: https://youtu.be/nGdtFcfjxc0 See here for stable download: https://social.thangs.com/m/203236 I wish I could offer instructions for assembly. I found it and managed to disassembly it, but I have no idea how it goes back together. Maybe you can help? The red outer body is covered in randomly placed protrusions, each of which contains a blue, oval-shaped piston of sorts. Rotating the bottom plate makes the blue pistons move in and out. There seems to be some sort of pattern in the movement, but I can’t figure out what it was supposed to do. I managed to unscrew the bottom and pulled out a stack of offset circular cams that must have been driving the movement of the pistons. I am not sure I can put it back together. I’m going to send it off to the folks at the Elgreen Project (http://www.elgreenproject.com/) , maybe they’ll recognize it. Do you know what it is? Do you know what it was used for? Please note that this page is closing, and designs are not being maintained or updated. There have just been too many problems with Thingiverse (lost files, people not able to download, etc). I am gradually moving over to Thangs: https://thangs.com/designer/DaveMakesStuff. Most old designs have been migrated, and I will continue to post new designs there. I encourage you to follow and download!
