3D model description

I got my inspiration for this model from an youtube video showing how to cut this from wood https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6HjHiZ_7a0

Recently I found out that Oskar van Deventer has invented this toy and is actually selling it as Thinkfun Tailspin https://www.google.com/search?q=thinkfun+tailspin&tbm=isch

If you don't have access to a 3D printer or if you want to support Oskar please find a store that sells the original toy.

A fun and satisfying toy based exclusively on gears.
