Description

Robert Murray-Smith, a brilliant chemist/engineering-physicist/YouTuber recently passed away as one of his biggest fans i wanted to honor his memory by remixing one of my favorites from his creations which he derived from otvinta. the original is a crank generator as shown in the video. 

This design is usable in its 3d printed state with minimal assembly but the insertion of baboo skewers makes it more robust and glueing  the frame and the rods to the gears. 

all files need to be printed with .4mm nozzle 

at .2 mm layer height
