Curta Calculator Assembly Part7

[@timothyp8947]

This machine is a thing of beauty - thank you for showing your build and debug. It also showcases that it really is possible to produce something quite complex with 3D printed parts, along with your tips on how to ensure smooth running when assembled. I’ve rather enjoyed this series 😊

Amazing - will definitely try this project one day!

Excellent project and video series. I my try one ay 1:1 scale on a resin printer though it would probably require more non printed parts for strength.

Jerry, this has been a fascinating series. Thank you very much for your detailed explanations! Please do make another video where you put it through its paces!

Thank you again for sharing your journey assembling it.

What a wonderful result. I'm amazed at how easily the crank turns; not even needing to hold the body of the calculator. It seems all that finishing work has really paid off in the result. The Curta is such a mechanical marvel on its own; and again the translation into the 3D printed version.

What an amazing project. Thank you for taking the time to document the process and for your detailed explanations of its assembly. I am curious about the choice of material used, was there any specific reason for using PLA for this project rather than some other type? Regards, David

Fabulous job, thanks for sharing such detailed information. Love the idea of a 50% smaller model, look forward to seeing that.

Really interesting series. Can you show how you printed and installed the individual numbers.

They are strips of printed paper glued and lackared to the blank cylinders. Some versions use multi colour printing, others leave depressions to paint inside.
