Amazing work. I love the simulator too, it's great to see someone else building spirographs again!

WAVES - A Kinetic Sculpture Hi everyone! Just released a video of my latest sculpture in my series of explorations into movements of the sea. This one is inspired by the great work of @aeh5040 with his synchropods. Really happy with how this creation as well as the video turned out, recently upgraded all of my camera gear. Hope you're all doing well!

Incredible! I remember being blown away by the original lego recreation of the mechanism, but this is so compact! I reckon 3D printed gears are the way to go, would open up so many possibilities. Congrats

Thanks Aron, differentials are the mvp of technic:) Cheers, glad you enjoyed it! Thank you! I am planning on doing a less cinematic video in the near future focusing on the pattern and mechanism more closely. I essentially folded it in on itself compared to the synchropods. I love that application of pendulum motion you did for the pangolin, I rarely am building these days due to playing music so very cool to combine the two. Can't wait to see what you come up with next!

Hi everyone, sorry to revive an old thread but during iso here in Australia I decided to make some instructions for this model. They're up on Rebrickable now: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-48656/JEPPO/kelp-a-kinetic-sculpture/#comments Thank you! Adajacent spirals are the inverse of each other which is why they will never touch. The instructions should make this a little bit clearer:)

My first moc after the year 12 dark ages, hope you enjoy

Absolutely brilliant as always! I love the way you have arranged the diffs, very clever:)

Love your models! This one particularly, I happened to have my bass out watching YouTube vids so I played along:) Some interesting polyrhythms happened!

Great alternate build! The defender set is a great parts pack, was waiting on others to make some more B models! Halfway through building Milan's at the moment, might give this one a go when those instructions are out:)

Cute build! I'm loving this contest, with all the extravagant (but awesome) supercars people are coming out with it's nice to have this refreshing stripped back style. Great job

Hey everyone, thought I'd share a fun little video I made of the robo arm that was comissioned for a music video last year. It was an interesting build due to the way the centre of gravity changes as the arm moves about. I had to redesign a lot of the components to account for this. Super happy with the geometry of the base, working a triangle onto the banana gear racks was a fun challenge! Hope you enjoy, will be releasing videos every tuesday now during isolation. Stay well:) Fun fact: livery design inspired by Kill Bill

Hey everyone! A lot has happened since I first shared this one. I found a way to access an additional speed out of the setup, and I also changed one of the gear ratios to access even more different patterns. I even had time to make a video and instructions, crazy times indeed. These are the first instructions I have made with studio, super happy with the result! Here is a link to instructions: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-39639/JEPPO/42110-b-model-the-defendergraph/?inventory=1#comments Hope we're all doing well at the moment and getting to spend some time with our Lego! I love unconventional technic stuff! Technic is already considered unconventional in Australia so this makes it really unconventional haha. Instructions are up now if you want to have a go:) Cheers, glad you like it Yeah why not? Milan's trophy truck is probably more of a b model than this though!

Hey everyone, As soon as I saw the defender set and heard about its ambitious gearbox I knew I was gonna get it! Loved the set but felt that it didn't show off its engineering enough so I set off on building a B model for it. It has two speed gearboxes for each arm and a four speed gearbox for the turntable. Still has a few tweaks needed but for the most part all major mechanisms are in place. It's based off the design of my V2 spirograph which makes use of the sets differentials. I was worried about the stability of it as it is hand cranked, however I was pleasantly surprised with the results. The finished prints almost hide imperfections when viewed as a whole. I love this set, looking forward to see what others come up with. Once I am happy with everything I will make some intsructions and a full video of it, just wanted to share it with you all. Peace:)

Mine worked fine, just make sure you line up the slots on the sleeves of the universal joints that share an axle. Awesome set, you'll have a great time with it!

The kids will love that at BV! Good work Rohan:)

Hey everyone, thought I'd share a project that I worked on. A few months I was approached by a guy who asked me to build a robot that could self replicate for his music video out of lego. Doing a lot of music stuff myself I thought it would be a cool way to meet some new poeple and have a bit of fun. I built the yellow arm specifically for the vid, and brought in some other contraptions that I have been working on to give the idea of a production line type setup. I'll be doing a video on the arm by itself and a more detailed write up of it in the next few weeks, in the meantime enjoy the video here: Cheers:)

Thank you! Yeah, it definitely was a bit of fun. I'm excited to share them, haven't put out anything in well over a year now:0

Set looka pretty cool but kinda wish it was an original defender in dark blue or even tan. Looking forward to the reviews of all these sets!

How did I miss this topic?! This is absolutely incredible

Thank you:) Thanks for your kind comment. Starting from the top, the first two gearboxes select the primary speed of the arms. The input is from the motor and the outputis into one side of a differential. The central gearbox not only controls the speed of the turntable, but the input to the secondary gearboxes. These gearboxes feed into the other side pf the differential and add/subtract rotations in the arm based on the turntable. Hope this helps :p

Hey everyone! Finally found some time to shoot a video for my second spirograph. I actually had this finished over a year ago but you know how life works sometimes:) Thanks to PG5200 for describing to me how his V5 works which largely inspired this one. To address the question I get asked all the time at exhibitions "Can you get two going at once?" I came up with this: These are drawn simultaneously, which you can see in the video here: Thanks everyone:) I'll have an LDD file on the way shortly

Hey everyone, last night I finished up the ldd file for this spirograph. Just submitted it to Rebrickable but here is the link to the file: http://bricksafe.com/files/Nalyd997/Spirograph V2.zip There were a few issues with alignments so I am yet to make the fixes for them obvious, until then enjoy:)

Nice work Lachlan, the view from above looks stunning!

Hey everyone, after a bit of a hiatus here is what I have got to show: I displayed this as part of this year's GBC circuit at the Brickvention here in Melbourne. I made it to answer what I guess is the one question GBCers get asked a lot. I was inspired by Nico71's brilliant sculpture and thought i would have a crack! Hope you enjoy:)

Haha it just came down to time:) Good idea!
