Description

I just created this set to help people learn about how gears work! :D It’s my first more complex project, made for the Physics Education Design Contest on Makerworld. It took me a few days (and a few failed attempts) to figure out the CAD software and get everything working smoothly.

The idea came to me after doing an internship at an elementary school. I showed the kids how gears work using LEGO, and they loved it! They even started building their own simple mechanisms. That inspired me to make this 3D-printable gear set so others can learn about gears in a fun and hands on way. Without having to search their Box full of LEGO to find the right parts. 

Some of the parts might fit a little tightly at first. If that happens, you can usually twist them into place with a bit of force it always works for me! ^^
