I always like a nice mechanism and with 3D printing you can create a lot. Based on some examples from the internet I have designed my own model. It was a bit of a hassle to get the dimension right but after the second print I was very pleased with the result. Therefore I am sharing the model.

For the complete model you need to print:

Bottom plate
Intermediate plate
Top plate
3x Shutter
3x Shutter pin

The assembly is straight forward. I have attached an exploded view image. I also made a short instruction video. Everything fits quite tight together. A bit of glue can be used to fit the top plate into the bottom plate.

For this month\u2019s contest, we are challenging you all to create multipart moving mechanisms such as automata, engine models, hand-cranked machines, or other mechanical marvels.\r\n\r\nAll entries for this contest must have multiple parts (we will make exceptions for print-in-place models) and must include some kind of mechanical movement. We know that items like springs, metal axels, screws, and bearings will be unavoidable for some designs, but we would like to see the entries be as close to completely printable as possible, everyone hates buying a huge pack of screws just to use 2 for a project. For this competition, we are going to be looking at aesthetics more than function. A moving sculpture is more interesting to us here than a very bland-looking mechanical machine with a job.","isOpen":false,"__typename":"CompetitionType"}],"contestsResults":[],"prusameterPoints":null,"latestContestResult":null,"referencingArticles":[]}}}
