Mini Gearbox Signaler

Coming soon to a dishwasher door near you. High resolution is required. I would suggest using 0.12mm layer height with fine/high quality resolution settings available for your printer. Several parts are small and the device may require some dexterity to assemble. Some present a choking hazard, so please carefully supervise small children who participate. Neutral colors for the gearbox are recommended so there won't be too much clashing against the red/green sign. My favorite is matte black.

There should be 12 parts including the 3 identical planetary gears.

To complete the project you will need one red permanent marker and one green permanent marker. Paint markers work best. You may alternatively use anything you like to make the message sign.


Possible uses include:

Dishwasher sign - attach to many surfaces using double-sided non-adhesive tape
Darkroom
Do not Disturb
Coast is clear (for diversionary tactics)
Psychiatric Help 5₵ - The Doctor is IN/OUT
