~80% of my working day is spent doing CAD on Solid Edge. Gorgeous!

I want one in my living room, just to marvel at.

The IWM should have info pointing to this site. I’ve looked at the pair of BL15’s by the entrance to the museum and often wondered how they worked.

Superb!

[@jareddempster2101]

what program did you use to render this? How were you able to get so many parts to mate like this in the render?

Modelled and rendered in Blender. O.T. Vinta's website used to generate the gears with animation done using Blender's physics simulation (and some manual keyframing).
