Wave machine

Model Overview & Print Notes

This is a 100% 3D-printed wave machine that requires no glue or other materials: all parts fit together perfectly. Using a cam system, the waves move periodically up and down. The current design utilizes cams with a 30° difference, and I plan to add more with a 15° difference to increase the number of waves in motion. You can choose to include a Benchy or not, and also between the version with a crank and the version without a crank (useful if you intend to place it in the middle of a desk where the crank cannot turn). To assemble the model, refer to the following video: Please enable subtitles https://youtu.be/Cjxbaip_8eE Bill Of Material: Number of pieces to print: Housing: 1x Axel: 2x Spacer: 70x Cam 0: 24x Cam 60: 46x Pin: 1x Transmission gear: 1x Transmission pulley 2: 2x Wave 1: 9x Wave 2: 9x Wave 3: 9x Wave 4: 8x Axel cap: 2x If you want to include a Benchy (to be printed at 100% of the normal size), replace the "waves" with: Wave 1 boat: 3x Wave 2 boat: 3x Wave 3 boat: 2x Wave 1: 6x Wave 2: 7x Wave 3: 7x Wave 4: 7x If you want to have the version with the crank, replace the "Axel" files with files starting with "Crank," each to be printed once. Disclaimer: This is an ongoing project, and while it is fully functional as is, I plan to add options to it gradually (create additional waves, optimize some parts for 3D printing, modify the spacing between each cam, etc.). The purchase of these parts does not include commercial use; please mention me in any sharing of this model (either by my username "@impression_ant" or by my name "Ehret Colin").

Only the "shaft" requires special parameters to be more resistant, namely : - Filling: 25%. - Number of walls: 4 For other rooms: - Filling: 15% of capacity - Number of walls: 3 Materials used on the model pictured: - GST 3D , PLA+, Ice Blue - Sunlu, PLA+, Skin - Sunlu, PLA, Black Matte
