Chuckle! I’d have to change it up sufficiently so that Hasbro didn’t come and sue me for my paltry 20$ in net profit. I was just foolin’ around in Illustrator.
(Can’t believe those Wild Gear things are selling for that much either…I must just be really out of touch.)
The larger ones are made in segments that lock together. (also multiple layers laminated). Otherwise you couldn’t transport them. Part of me wants to do a really fancy version with the GF (with segments of all different radii plus straight, and ditto gears) but I don’t want to steal this guy’s thunder.
I wanted to do this with my 3D printer a couple of years back, but the there’s a lot of post processing and they slip more than the originals! Very cool, can’t wait for my GF so I can take another stab at it.
The shapes are nothing more than different shaped rings if anyone else wants to try one. I might switch some things up and offer something in the catalog if it gets the okay from GF. (Still have to think about Hasbro.)
I really love this. Glowforge is/will allow us to do the things we want to do, not just what’s possible with what comes in the box. I remember wanting certain shapes and designs, but they just weren’t in the box of pieces. Now that’s not a limitation anymore. Oh the possibilities!
@bwente I love this! Maybe I missed it, but wonder if you might be willing to share the file? I can credit you with my build . . . thinking of PG Draftboard or PG Medium Clear Acrylic. Thank you!
@Jules Love this! Would you be willing to share? I asked another user the same. Of course, I would credit you for the design. Wondering too what material you used. I was thinking of using PG Draftboard or PG Medium Clear Acrylic, in case you have suggestions. Thank you!
