Nice to know someone else had my idea of using Spirograph parts!

Really creative use of rotation and layering! It’s amazing how small incremental changes build such a clean pinwheel effect.

This site is what the internet was made for. Thank you so much for this amazing site! I loved spirograph as a child and treated myself to a spirograph as an adult.

Comment on Comparing the new Spirograph® Deluxe Set to the old Super Spirograph: In-Depth Review by Edward Holmes

In reply to Heather Holm.

I 3D printed some gears from a parametric model, to try making some wheel-within-a-wheel designs, before I purchased my Wild Gears.

I was pleasantly suprised with how precise they were. They weren’t quite the right size to mesh with Spirograph, but could be scaled before printing if you wanted to use them with Spirograph rings. It would certainly open up endless possibilities, as you can choose the number of teeth you want, before printing.

I was using an FDM printer, but I guess if you wanted even more precision, you could use a resin printer.

I appreciate how you shared the trial-and-error process behind the pattern. When building online spinning tools, we’ve learned that small adjustments in ratios can completely change the visual and experiential outcome. Your loops show how precision and playfulness coexist beautifully.
