Wild Gears Gallery: Full Page Designs
These designs all use Wild Gears’ 210-tooth ring, and are 8″ in diameter. Captions give details. Many of them explore the possibilities of the 120 triangle gear. More to come.
I took the second last image above, made a series of rotated versions in Photoshop, then layered them into an animated GIF which I use as my YouTube logo. You may not see it rotate there, so here it is:
I think Wild Gears are amazing! But I live in Italy and, unfortunately, Aaron doesn’t ship to Europe 🙁
Have you asked him about it? He might need to set up another “store” with a Ponoko partner who produces the product in Europe, which is apparently possible, or maybe just duplicate products, according to:

Thank you for the advice! Last month I emailed to him twice, but he didn’t answer to me. Yesterday I emailed to him again and I’m waiting for an answer.
Aaron emailed to me!
Hi Raffaella,
I will definitely ship to Italy. I will most likely be able to make the gear sets in Germany or Italy so the shipping shouldn’t be too much (although the base price may be a little higher, I’ll have to see).
I will need a little bit of time to find out some details about pricing and logistics but I will get back to you when I have all the information. Hopefully in a day or two.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Cheers,
Aaron
He made my day! 🙂
Awesome!!
I just ordered the Full Page Gear Set! Thank you very much for the advice! 🙂
Great! I look forward to hearing about your experiences.
Thanks! And I’m looking forward to play with them!
Aaron emailed me:
Hello Raffaella,
Your Gear Set has been made and is being shipped!
I’m so happy!!! 🙂
I have ordered myself a set and just heard from Aaron that they are being made and will be with me soon. I let him know that it was your blog where I heard about them 🙂
Today Wild Gears (the Full Page Gear Set) arrived! I’m so excited!
They look amazing and I need a lot of practice.
As soon as possible I’ll write about my experiences.
Thank you Heather and Aaron 🙂
I look forward to it!
Hi!! It is possible to Ship to Argentina? I really want to get a Gear Set..
I’ll pass on your question to Aaron by email and copy you.
Does the 210 tooth ring fit on A4 paper if I use the outermost hole on any wheel?
I happen to have a piece of A4 paper (not usual in Canada, but I have in-laws in Europe). It would just barely work. The teeth themselves would be over the edge, but the penhole of a gear should just barely stay on the paper.
Looks like the second last design on the article is your youtube logo 🙂
You’re right. I made an animated GIF out of it, but it doesn’t usually rotate on YouTube. I just edited this page to include the large version of it so you can see it. It’s almost 2 MB, which is rather big for a website image. Hopefully by the time you’ve read this, it will have downloaded for you.
