Proven first
Every machine here was printed, tested and fixed before its file went up: EX-66, MT-100.
New designs get listed once they have been printed, tested and fixed. More are on the way.
The workshop
Gears, on purpose.
The Cog Box designs small machines you can print, build and play with. Print them yourself, or have the parts posted and build them.

Process
How a design gets listed
Printed and tested first.
Principles
How we work
Three rules every design has to pass.
Original
No remixes of other people's files, and no licensed characters. Each design should make you ask how it works, then tell you.
Printed first
We print a design, check that it moves, and only then list it. A listing here means the machine already came off our bed and worked.
Visible
Pins, clips, knuckles, a tiller. The engineering stays in sight. If a part is doing work, you should be able to see it.
Next
What comes next
Once each one is proven.
More machines, once they survive the same test.
Until then, try MT-100 below, or join the list for when the next design comes off the bed.
