Mouse Matchbox - MOVEin3D

Hi, I'm Wojciech from Poland.

This is my proposal for the 3D print contest.

Long time ago, when there were no phones and tablets ( how was that possible ;) ? ) I used to play with similar toys.

Below there is an animation.

The main difference in my proposal is the way to move the mice. In the original  toy there were two thin ribbons inside the box. For today's 3D printers it is still not so easy. I tried to adapt the kinematic mechanism to be suitable for 3D printing.

I designed mouse matchbox in Catia (today this is my toy ;) ). I spend some time with DMU Kinematics and if this mechanism will work correctly I will show this mouse matchbox for my 3 year old son.

I will try to design next version of this toy and change mouse for different thing for example 3d logo or something else.

 

Best regards, Wojciech Zaluski
