I love eccentric gear designs... and the fact that this one looks like a Nautilus is icing on the cake.

Haven't looked at it since I don't have the right SW on this computer, but there's a DXF here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:27233/#files

They just did the one piece a dxf, the other needed files are STL. These guys are making these on 3D printers.

Another possibility:

Nautilus Gear motorised display cdr, pdf and mts using bamboo barbecue skewers as axle also uses the flexible hinge for the box

Thanks...I'll see how it goes when I get it upstairs. I find it odd that my X4 doesn't display any errors when trying to load an X5/X6 file, it just hangs.

Yup, that worked fine. Thanks again.
