Nice! Congratulations!!!Greg

Thanks Penolopy! They're very easy to 3D print.Greg

Thanks Marve48, I'm glad you liked them!Greg

Hi Ham It Up!Beautiful work! I'm very, very pleased your grandson was the recipient!Greg

Thank you very much JacenF, I'm glad you liked it!Greg

Thank you so very much Mattpenner, I'm glad you enjoyed it and I truly wish you success with you and your daughters efforts!Greg

Hi seamster!Thank you so very much for your kind words, I always appreciate them and they inspire me on to the next project!Greg

Hi GuidoMonstrey!That is beautiful, congratulations! And of course, you are very welcome!Greg

Das freut mich sehr!Greg

Hi teenmonk,No, the acrylic spray is used to provide a smooth surface for the silicon to adhere to. With enough layers of spray, the silicon has a smoother surface making it easier to seal.Greg

Hi teenmonk,I used a plastic safe acrylic spray paint, and I believe I sprayed six coats allowing for drying time between each coat.Greg

hi sutliff2000,In this model the Geneva wheel is used simply as a counter. In conjunction with the magnets and reed switch, the six segment Geneva allows the model to raise and lower six times before the magnet on the Geneva disables the reed switch on the base which turns the motor off and stops the model.Hope this helps!Greg

Thanks DragonFired, and congratulations on your son's discovery! When you mod the design for Arduino, please publish your results!Greg

Hi Penolopy!Thank you very much! This one was fun because the grandkids and wife were very helpful in its final design.Many, many thanks again!Greg

Hi teenmonk,Yes it will as I tried a number of heights before selecting this one.Best,Greg

Hi GuideoMonstrey!That is absolutely stunningly beautiful, congratulations!!!!!Greg

Hi scimsabre!Very, very nice, congratulations!!!!Greg

It is gorgeous! Not a problem at all GuidoMonstrey, I always try to help!Greg

Congratulations scimsabre, beautiful work!Greg

Thanks Penolopy!We used this model as a centerpiece on a wine tasting party and it drew a lot of attention!Greg

Mi Mark and thank you!No this one does not, but this one does: https://www.instructables.com/id/3D-Printed-Mantel...Thanks again!Greg

Hi Penolopy!Thank you very much! I try to design models that are "grandkid proof" (good luck with that!) and the magnetic version was much easier for them than the center chain model.Greg

Hi GuidoMonnstey,Thank you and best wishes!Greg

Hi GuidoMonstrey,Well of course you don't have to print and test them! Only if you want to!Greg

Hi Joppe Spaans,Thank you very much! There was at times a beer next to me while designing, printing and assembling this model!Greg

Hi ELECTRONFLYER1,westbrookjr is correct, two magnets under the table are stronger than one magnet in each of the three cups.Greg

Thanks cwill78854, I'm glad you figured it out!Greg

Thank you trimbandit!I'll work on the details and publish them soon.Greg

Wonderful work ssubzwari, congratulations!Greg

Beautiful!Greg

Congratulations maljg, great work (and patience)!Greg

Hi MikeTheMaker!Thank you so very much, I'm truly pleased that you enjoy these models!Greg

Very nice, I'm glad it worked for you!Greg

Very nice work RameshV21, congratulations as this is a challenge to build!Greg

You are very welcome, and congratulations!Greg

Beautiful work maljg!Greg

Hi maljg,It requires a little finessing, but as the arm is inserted through the chin hole and out the neck hole, it needs to be rotated 180 degrees as it is inserted.Greg

Congratulations!Greg

Hi maljg,MikeTheMaker is correct, the file you are looking for is Base.stl. I downloaded it again as well and confirmed it is the correct file, and that's pretty good for me!Greg

Hi MikeTheMaker!Congratulations, your work looks beautiful!I started 3D printed on a Makerbot Rep 2 and while it printed no where close to the accuracy of my Ultimakers, it shouldn't be that far off. If as you observed the pin on the pivot arm is hitting the top of the slot in the "arm, eyes", it would seem to me that the body and/or extension components of the "arm, eyes" assembly are not fully seated in the coupler component causing the slot to be too low. Just my first thought though.Again, congratulations as I never thought anyone would attempt to recreate this model and you've done a wonderful job!Greg

You're very welcome, and my best wishes for your successful print and assembly!Greg

Hi maljg,Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it.The normally closed limit switch terminals are wired in line with the battery back negative terminal to the motor terminal. The switch is normally closed and thus the motor operates until the arm on "Cam, Arm, Eyes.stl" contacts the limit switch and breaks the circuit.The battery holder mounts between the front and rear legs closest to the motor. I used double sided tape to hold it in position.The momentary switch I used is normally open. It is wired to the limit switch normally closed contacts and activates the mechanism.Hope this helps!Greg

Thank you izulustudios!You will need to change the SSID password variable in the code to match that of the network you are attempting to connect.Greg

Thank you dbpeckham, I'm glad you enjoyed it and can put it to good use!Greg

Hi jason.zacarias,Older filament does definitely cause 3D printing issues, as I have experienced all to many times!You are very welcome, and thank you for your very kind words!Greg

Hi pjanho48,Sorry for the difficulties you're having with this model.Are you using support material?Greg

Thanks jason_zacarias,I printed it in the orientation of the .stl file. I'm not sure why the holes are brittle, but you may try printing using a different color. I've found silver to be more brittle that white for example.Greg

Thank you jeanniel1, I'm glad you enjoyed it!Greg

Thank you very much, I'm truly happy that you enjoyed it!Greg

Hi jeanniel1,Thank you!The Magic Chef is here: https://www.instructables.com/id/The-Magic-Chef-a-...The theory behind how the cheese is captured by the cloche is three magnets are stronger than one. So I placed one magnet on top of the cheese and one inside the top of cloche, but three magnets on the bottom of the cheese and three magnets in a magnet holder under the table top than holds the cheese in place until time for the mouse reveal.Thanks again!Greg

Thank you very much!Greg

¡Muchas gracias y de nada!Greg

Hi NeilRG,Well darn, I knew I forgot something...:)Many thanks!Greg

Hi MikeTheMaker,Many, many thanks for your very kind words. I truly enjoy bringing smiles to faces, and I hope you smiled as well!Thanks again!Greg

Cyanoacrylate glue is super glue. At my local hobby shop it is available in a number of viscosities, "thin", "gap filling", "thick", etc. I use thick as it stays where I put it and doesn't run.Greg

Hi davidsed,Well, that's exactly why I include the disclaimer "As usual, I probably forgot a file or two or who knows what else, so if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask as I do make plenty of mistakes." in the introduction...I truly apologize, they should be there now, and I sincerely thank you for you help!Greg

It's beautiful! Awsome driver!Greg

Nice work igmosan, very nice!Greg

Hi Donald!Many thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!Lora and I hope you and yours are well!Greg

Hi power_manager,That's difficult to determine. I've purchased the motor and power supply for less than $5.00 USD, and the plastic depends upon where you purchase it, but I'd say it's less than $10.00 USD.Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it!Greg

Thank you cdavenport, I'm glad you enjoyed it!Greg

Thanks Penolopy, I'm glad you enjoyed it!Greg

Hi 22klumchuks,Wow, I haven't seen that before and have not a clue as to what is happening. I'll try to duplicate the problem using the latest version of Fusion360.I'm truly sorry for the issue!Greg

Hi GuidoMonstrey,What beautiful work, congratulations and you're most certainly welcome!Greg
