Spiaral Model Widget

To be honesty, i do not know how to call this widget.I just curious spiral object which looks like a life circle for me.

This idea comes from a real experience of visiting a museum which get a spiral stair and a snail shell i found in my collections.I like the spinning down movement which is mysterious and magical. all in all, it is a funny object.

1. Download drawings and decompress.
2. Load those files named crank_handle.stl, sprocket_gear.stl，

   enterance_chute.stl

   andgear_lift.stl into UP! 3D printing software in turn and prepare to print.

3. Set configures in UP! by click 3D print > setup and refer to specific settings to above last image in this step.
4. It will around 2 hours to printing them all, so be patient.

1. Place chipboard under laser working area and adjust the distance between laser head and chipboard.
2. open a DWG format file named Basswood chipboard cutting drawing.dwg and start cutting.
