Inspired by a "Grand-Illusions" video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHiqJlhDlIU). I was amazed that a mechanism that small could perform the mechanical feats it did, so I began designing this 3D printed mechanism.

Always fascinated me that cams can encode such complex movement.

Hi Dan!

You and me both! I truly enjoy the challenges of reproducing these old mechanisms in 3D printed form.
