Little did he know that his machine would set the first stone towards the computers that we know today -even the one you're reading this through-. Now, it has been 480 years since his invention, and thanks to 3D printing, you can have your own version of it at your home. Here is a model of the Pascaline. Because the original machine was so complicated and big, I have reduced it to only been able tom perform arithmetic operations with 5 digit numbers. Also, keep in mind that the gears 2 and 4 (the tens and thousands/the ones in blue) turn counterclockwi
