    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
    Yoga class makes me feel like a total stud, mostly because I'm about as flexible as a 2x4.
    "Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.

    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

    Aaarrggh! Finally got around to looking at that file: it's X5 format. Anybody willing to convert it to X4 and attach it here? (The DXF version imported ok, but with thousands of extraneous nodes.)

    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.
