I've wrapped up work on the 3D printed Antikythera Mechanism for now. There are a few parts that are incomplete, and I would like to com...

  The mechanism up to this episode is working, with the only remaining elements being the input and output. The input comes from a gear know...

The mechanism is now really taking shape. I did more work to stabilize the back gear. One change was to add a rim on the top of the midplate...

The inferior planets mechanism is a part of the Antikythera mechanism which models the motion of Mercury and Venus as seen from Earth, as we...

I plan to have a go at making a 3-D printed adaptation of the Antikythera Mechanism. See the previous episode for background. A side note: f...
