bump

the stand was never made and the PDF with the gears wasn't complete ... i think

bumpity bump

bumpity

someone here show a finished version some time ago
and the gears are on /rs/ ... but yeah no stand/core whatsoever

maybe somebody has the full working finished thing

I talked to someone years ago that was making it and they said that they would let me know when they have a supposed working model and they got back to me the other day.

Shame I'm unemployed, this is a pricey one I might buy. This and Artist Automaton (www.cool4cats.biz) are really the only two high dollar papercraft (more than $15) I could see breaking down and buying. If they are still for sale after I begin working again (probably will be awhile, next Christmas maybe), and no one else breaks down and does it, then I will.

Here is a blown up picture of the core. From what I've read the core isn't made of paper in the working model. Maybe someone could improvise.

Someone posted this pdf awhile ago. It looks like they just did a raw unfold in Pepakura. I haven't attempted it but it looks about right. I think even just a glued static one would be cool.

has anyone baught the template...

https://sites.google.com/site/msraynsford/papergearheart

Interested in getting it myself - looking for reviews..

we need someone to donate 40 bucks lol

>>410469

didnt see the post above sorry

I downloaded a .rar off /rs/ that supposedly includes the box. I can't check for myself thought, I can't open .obj files.

>>410609
Repost the rar file and we can take a look in Metasequoia. That core picture that was posted above is wrong. Check out the following:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvJXOualy8M

How's the base box made? Like the inner workings of it?
Anyone got a PDF or anything for it?

bump

Ok, I got this file which has like all the parts to it+instructions: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Z5QNA3C1

However, they're all like .mtl, .obj, and .skp files.
I have no clue what to do with those, so if someone can convert them to like .pdo or pdf, that'd be cool

The .obj are object files that can be imported into sketchup or another 3D app. The .mtl's are the materials (texture) for those files. The .skp are the sketchup 3d files. And there's already a bunch of Pdo's in there to start on.

Looks like 8 semi completed pieces of 12, didn't see the main box part yet. I believe that some of the pieces get reused in the design so that 8 of 12 gets bumped up a bit.

The main key right now is someone cleaning and working with that piece9 in the package. That looks to be the last main driver piece.

In Spanish, but all the stuff seems to be here: http://allportal.net/posts/hazlo-tu-mismo/3222422/papercraft-gear_s-heart-el-corazon-en-movimiento-_
crealo-tu.html

i would imagine the box to be something like this

>>410815

That is exactly the file I was talking about in an earlier post.

>>410829
Also, the post has been deleted or something. Are you sure you posted the link correctly?

>>410895
I'm not the person who posted that link, but I visited it earlier and it was working. Too bad I stopped poking around to go to lunch. ._.

>>410825
Here's the 9th part fixed http://www.mediafire.com/?fdzdikmnmjr

also, if someone else can read spanish, here's another link that might help you http://www.taringa.net/posts/hazlo-tu-mismo/3222422/papercraft-gear_s-heart-el-corazon-en-movimiento
-_crealo-tu.html

Yeah, that was already posted

bump

is there anywhere you could buy a plastic working model oof this? It seems like there will never be templates with instructions =(

Bump

>>410852
i suppose it wouldn't hurt to say this is a bevel gear, found at:
http://guru2.karakasa.com/top_e.html

christ mas bump. fuck paper and glue thread!

>>>/ck/2442147

Up up up!

>>411137
So I looked at this, but what I still don't understand is what goes on inside this gear. On the early video, the guy placed this gear on the pole leading to the box. After placing all the gears on the bevel gear, he was simply able to turn the box handle and rotate all the gears.
So are there more gears inside the bevel gear, or how does this work? Does anyone know?

>>411307
no, the bevel gear turns the very bottom of the heart only, while the core that's inside the heart is stationary. the bottom gear of the heart alone turns all of the other gears

needless to say, you WOULD have to modify the bevel gear slightly, so as to allow a stationary pole to rise through the turning gear of the bevel box, inside a secondary pole attached to the bevel gear that will turn.... does that make sense?

>>411311
>>411312
Ahh! I see now. I was getting the bevel gear confused with the inner box of the heart.
So, you would have to have a stationary pole coming up from the box that goes through a hole in the bottom gear and attaches to the heart core.
Then inside that, you'd have the rotating pole attached to the bottom gear.

So all we're really missing in this thread is plans for the box and poles.

This looks amazing, never tried papercraft but I'm gonna go for it just because of this, I've got a friend that likes doing this stuff tho and he's an engineer if I get the proper way of making the base I'll share when I get it, wish me luck anon

>>411313
And heart's bottom gear.

Here are plans for box of >>410852
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=85LF389T

>>411313
the stationary pole would have to be INSIDE the rotating pole. i think the only real thing missing in this thread is the heart's core, cus i think the bottom gear is included in the plans.

Core is included here >>410815 (low quality pic related, it's my build). I guess, we can start building. :)

P. S.
As far as i know, this is fake >>410377

>>411370

No. I built a working model of the gear sphere with the stationary pole on the outside about half a year ago. It would have to be significantly stronger that it would be than if it was on the outside though.

Unfortunately, after I attatched the box on the bottom, the sphere wouldn't work anymore. The materials for the box weren't strong enough to spin the rod. The crank was completely destroyed when I tried to spin it. Maybe if I made the model smaller....

>>411375
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-2VMIuN9lI
Well, it is possible to make it turn somehow.

>>411374
how about someone include the core in files that are downloadable by the average user?

>>411375
How did that work with the stationary on the outside? How did the rotating pole attach to the bottom gear then?

>>411374
ok, i still don't quite understand how that core works. obviously, its a little different than the one in the youtub video (the one with the japanese lookin dude). this one has a small dodecahedron inside a larger dodecahedron, with spokes attached to both, and then the spokes go THROUGH the bottom part of each heart gear (but not glued, thus making the gear moveable), and THEN attached to the top part of the gear (glued at the rim)? is that..... right?

>>411439
The bottom gear simply rotates around the stationary pole. The stationary pole connects to the core. The rotating pole connects to the TOP gear. Of course, this will put more stress on the rotating pole, so you have to make it stronger. This also means that you have to make the crank significantly stronger too, which is where I failed.

You will also have to put a stopper under the bottom gear to stop it from falling down.

This is how I did it. I personally like this method better, since you don't have to look at the spinning rod, but its probably more difficult this way.

>>411453
Correct

>>410311
So if I bought this, would I (a complete idiot to papercraft) have a good shot at making this geared heart?

I have bought the template in >>410852 and you would be surprised the gear box doesn't look like >>410311 at all, very simple starshaped gears. It's not pure papercraft: The rods are metal with an aluminium pipe and the box has some plywood to hold it together.

>>411549
share?

>This is copypasta<
This same kind of thread is posted here about once every month. Please read the following post & spread the word.

This, >>410377 , does not work. However, it LOOKS just fine. It was posted here by MsRaynsford- he made no comments about the matter. He simply gave a link to the pdf, no instructions, no words.

After building, I built it myself as well, it turns out the gears did not spin. He made a very nice replica- (The teeth of the gears were uneven, and unequal- the rotations between each gear was not at rotatable angles). Therefore, we can call it a sculpture- but not a working gear-twisting heart. It looks nice, but you have to get past the fact it won't ever spin.

The original- and only working model of the Gears Heart was made by Kamikara. He made it as an art piece, not a papercraft to be distributed.

I found this I hope it helps it has assembly pics.

>>411561
So what you're saying is...there's no way to make a working one

bumping up for the $40 plans, not the sketchup one, sketchup one has to manny errors on it

ok, guys. i downloaded Google SketchUp, i downloaded the files from >>410815, everything seems to be there. i'm still not able to get the files for the box, but considering i have the .pdo's for >>410852, im gonna modify it a little, and use that. also, i'm thinkin of some additional CRAAAAAZY modifications for the whole thing, including glowing pieces (LED lights inside each gear), and an inscripted plate that can only be read when the heart lights are on. Hopefully, i'll have this done before V day, and then i can give it to my wife.

bump

bump, btw the sketchup version sucks, to many bugs, the orignal seems way easier to fold and glue together unlike the sketchup one

>>411925
Can you be more specific about those bugs ?

>>411948
So you did this then?

>>411948
You did this? and does it work? care sharing the blueprints?

>>411948
old pic is old.

bumpin for mother earth.

god damnit, I've seen this thing so god damn often, how come we still don't have a blueprint?
Really, this is impossible!

I mean we can see the gears, their positions, how many teeth they have, isn't it possible to do this in a 3d CAD type program and just try and make it?

bump, esp if someone got the 40$ plans

bump

Bumpity Bump

bumpity bump

stop bumping this shit.

this fucking thing has been here for ages and we have NEVER seen any release of it. so you will NEVER see a release.

>>413099
No, we are so close

>>413119
I've seen $3 templates that people want, yet nobody buys it and shares. This one is $40, more than 13 times that. We are NOT close, you are asking cavemen to fly to the moon. So, tell me are YOU gonna buy it? If not, then, "these aren't the droids you're looking for, move along."

I'd buy it as I have a job and can afford...I just feel like I'm getting jipped as I'm the only one who'd be losing anything from sharing the templates D: Sorry...human nature is greedy.

I'd gladly buy it and share it if I knew the schematics were guaranteed to make the actual working model =/

>>413151
I think this place could benefit by becoming a trading post of sorts (if everyone was willing to play along). Those who have legitimately rare models or models that need to be purchased could give a list of rare or sold models that they need. Those individuals could engage in a private trade, then share their trade once complete. Shame is I think this has been attempted before and it failed.

>>410829
Well, all the parts seem to be in the file from this post:
>>413121

These look like the $40 plans, just without the box. So really we are close. We're just missing the box and any sense of how it turns everything

geez, ppl! just use your brain! granted it wouldnt be an otpion for the papercraft amateurs, but for the more experienced ones: take the pieces from the heart, take the box from glue2, use a little imagination, and DO IT! hell, thats what i'm doing right now! it might take me a while, as i've had to design several pieces (and add to the fact that i'm adding more things to it as well, as mentioned above), but i'm sure (and confident) that i'll do a good job at it! so bite the bullet, and DO IT! what'll u lose? if it doesnt work out, the least you could say is you tried!

>>413172
I've trade trading loops on here a couple times...I'm the guy who scanned the minibox models a while back. Nobody wanted to trade what I wanted for those.

On the other hand, I have successfully traded some worldworks' stuff before

>>413245
Tell me how that works out for you, as it's how to rotate the bottom gear without rotating the inner core that's the problem everyone's trying to solve

>>409993
The only way to make that happen is by having two axles from the box, probably one on the inside which is connected to the inner core and then probably the bottom of the box, and a pipe around it which connects to the bottom gear and the gear in the box. That is also a rather easy thing to do.

Bump

/r/ing the page for the $40 blueprint, I might give it a shot and if I feel like it I'll share

captcha: Fulart regularly

>>413481
NOW I understand what you want! This is the page: http://www.geocities.jp/kamikara1967/index.html

The full instructions for that masterpiece would be nothing short of epic.

>>413291
i just drew this in paint to explain how the bottom gear can rotate while the core stays fixed. i'm about to draw another one to show how to modify the box on the inside.

k, here it is. the crank support and reinforcement pieces are pieces i had to design myself, but they work.

Fear not anon I've got a friend that knows japanese (he's a weeaboo) once he has the time I'll tell him to help me get the plans, then I'll upload I think it'll take me around 2 or 3 weeks to get him to help me read, I don't trust the engrish instructions

>>415481
Thank you very much sir, you are my god now!
May you live a long and happy life!

The anon who posted the gear should put the email here. I would give five bucks as a help to him, cuz he is like a new seiya D:

>>415482
Is this the $40 model from:
https://sites.google.com/site/msraynsford/papergearheart
... or is your pdfs from the files in:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SRR79COT ??

I didn't see any instructions in any of the megaupload links in this thread? Did I miss something? Oh, and many humble THANKS!

>>415490
Yeah, I didn't see any PDF instructions either... which link has them. By the way, you rock! Ever since Christmas this place has become more the place it should have been all along. Thank you Anon and all the other contributors here in the past month!

Together, we anon can totally say: "Fuck you closed forums! Fuck you, mercenaries!" Acts like the one from the anon who posted are the things that make me believe in the mankind.

>>415482
Incredible, just incredible. You make me proud to be a part of /po/, thank you!

>>415494
I agree that we all bow before you and praise that the Christmas spirit still survives here. But 'closed' forums?? Most of the forums I know are quite open, they just require that NOT be a dick (ensured by not being anonymous), you 'do something' (which the respectful posts/questions here would qualify there). There are definite benefits here that cannot be enjoyed there (at least not as openly), but likewise there are benefits there that are not found here. Point is, the smart modeller makes use of all resources (/po/, forums, Google, Tineye, Wayback Machine, etc).

Anyway, allow me to add my thanks to Anon, and to dub thee the Patron Saint of Papercraft! This is definitely EPIC!

>>415499
What I love about /po/ is that people usually don't act like dicks EVEN THOUGH they are anonymous. It gives me that warm fuzzy feeling =D

>>415482
Thanks Tavi !!! Is there anyway you could post the Megaupload link with the pdf instructions? I think you forgot to, as I don't see them here. Thanks again you are the BEST !!!

>>415499
What i mean is that if we stay together in one place sharing what we have is better than have to post in an forum that isn't in your language, like a freak to get one password to get one papercraft. Acts like the one from Tavi, if done here constantly by who can help us, is the way to a better internet

>>415481
excuse me, but will it be rude to ask the manual too?

and thank you very much :)))

>>415511
This can be and has been a good place (at least for the past month or so - much WIN). But I doubt you have belonged to very many forums (if any). I belong to six different forums (only 2 in a language I know), and I have NEVER had to offer a new password for every model I get. I just have to log in each time I visit after shutting down my computer and get back on. If that is a problem then you are lazy. Many don't have a post minimum, to access anything, and I guarantee most here have made more than 10 posts here. I could ask 10 questions here and then ask 10 questions there and I know more of them would be answered there than here.

Granted, the model in this thread is a great example why no one should abandon this board as a resource, but you have some misconceptions about the 'forums' and are missing out on another easy source for much WIN.

I should note that Tavi still hasn't delivered the final and critical element... the instructions. He forgot to post the link that he said he posted. Without them this model may very well be useless.

i can print the pdfs directly on red paper?

Just got home from work. Uploading the pdf to Megaupload as we speak. Err, as I type.

>>415544
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=906GDZBX
This should do it.

Dude you RULE! The only model that could come close to being as Epic a Win is 'Artist Automaton' http://www.cool4cats.biz/page5.htm

This is righteous, Tavi, Thank You So Much!

so do all the gears spin? or does the box just spin the heart in a circle?

Fuck. Where can I order/find some A4 110lb cardstock in the US? Anyone?

>>416717
try any specialty paper shops in your area.
It is a bit more expensive that way but you can usually get just about any color or size you need.

bump

now let's see the results

someone made the model?

>>416710
read the instructions
>>416712
all the gears spin, try "gears heart" on youtube

Hey. It says 110 lb paper in A4 size. I found Letter sized paper which I can cut down to A4 size, but the heaviest weight is 67 lbs. And then of course I have 110 lb Letter sized cardstock. Should I just scale it down? Or use 67 lb paper?

edit: when i said "letter sized paper i can cut down", i meant legal size. lol

>>416912
The model seem very big, Anyone know what is the size of the outcome. Was thinking to print out in half-size, anyone tried before?

Hmm. Well, I've been moving some parts around in GIMP, and have fixed it so that I'm able to print it out on letter sized paper, without changing the scale of the model. I'll post it up once I'm finished with it, for those who want it.
