Jellyfish Swimming - Mechanical Interactive Art

Have this mesmerizing print on your desk or in your living room as a novelty decoration and a conversation piece. No glue or extra parts needed. Printing settings All files are in STL to print without any support and already in the best orientation to print. Most parts can be printed with your standard 0.2mm layer config. In the pictures, they were printed using 3 walls and the lightning infill for almost everything. The tentacles can be printed in vase/spiral mode, to avoid the seam line, they have a custom easy-to-remove brim. Parts grouped by the colors used in the pictures: Pink (or your jellyfish chosen color): - Dome.stl - DomeRing.stl - CenterGear.stl - GearsBase.stl - 8 x ExternalGear.stl - 8 x ExternalTentacle.stl (vase/spiralmode) - 4 x InternalGear.stl - 4 x InternalTentacle.stl (vase/spiralmode) - Axle.stl - can be clear

Clear: - DomeUnder.stl

Blue (or your base chosen color): - Base.stl - BaseLid.stl - CrankHandle.stl

Silver: - CrankAxle.stl

Random color (these parts stay hidden): - CrankAxleGear.stl - CrankLock.stl - AxleBaseGear.stl

Assembling https://youtu.be/fBVhXHgbrTI Assembling Tips - Check all the connections, screwing and gaps before assembling; the parts must play freely. - For the gears, use the seam line "aligned" on Prusa Slicer and activate the option “hide Seam” on Cura; the gears work better this way. Other parts can have the seam aligned back. - For the tentacles, you can use the option to print them individually (sequential printing); I recommend printing some extra because they can break easily. - The dome does not need supports; it has some bridges but has a gap to compensate for bad bridging. - Don't use the elephant foot compensation on the dome and the dome ring, or you will have some bed adhesion problems; actually, all parts except the axles already have some compensation. But even the axles can handle a bit of pressure on the first layer.
