The Gear Project 2
This is was a step further in 3D-Printing world, If I could print gears, why not try universal joints?

I designed everything using Google SketchUp.
Here it is, the design and the real thing. :)
Here you can see the real thing with me explaining... :)
Total design time in Google SketchUp: About 50 hours.
Total building time: About 100 hours.
Total printing time: About 30 hours.
All printed parts are printed on a: RepRapPro Huxley (Beta) 3D-Printer.
Total project print time: 91h
Total meters of 1.75mm filament: 316,65
Total amount of printed parts: 120
Nozzle temp: 160c
Bed temp: 70c
Material: All printed things are printed with 1.75mm PLA filament from Supply3DPLA.com.
I have been using both my cell and tablet to capture pictures, that's why the quality varies from time to time...
Let me know what you think and most of all use this to make your own cool kinetic art!! :)
You can find all the STL-files for all printed parts on Thingiverse.
