The mesh gear is the latest in an expanding range of Essential Mechanisms on the robives.com website. Each project uses a specific mechanism to create an interesting movement. Essential Mechanisms are a great way to learn how mechanisms work with a hands-on project that you make yourself. Make the models as an exercise in pure mechanism or as the starting point for your own character based paper animations.

All the Essential Mechanism downloads are always free for all paid members. Thanks for signing up!
