Description
This was a fun make, entirely designed as a labor of love in Tinkercad. Enjoy~
My inspiration comes form the variety of demos left out in the counter of auto shops nationwide. Ever play with those spinning gears from Lucas that show you the viscosity of their oil additives? Maybe you've grabbed at the tie rod ends left out to show the rigidity of a variety of brands? I felt this low poly design would fit right in!
A twin-tank air compressor acts as a the card cradle, with a gear behind. Some TPU filament was used to mimic an air hose, and a little air impact completes the package.
I made two designs, which give you a vertical or horizontal orientation option. Sorry the picture is potato quality; it looks rougher in real life! Vertical orientation pictured.
