UPDATE!!! There are 2 new STL files, in case you want to use a piece of filament as the axis for the plates. They have 2 mm holes so a 1.75 mm filament should run through them freely. Just heat up both tips of the "rod" and flatten them, making a kind of rivet to hold it in place. This is a simple binary-decimal converter, with 10 bits. Print the body and 10 copies of the plate, later using a metal or plastic rod to serve as a pivot/axis so the plates can cover the numbers (powers of 2: 1, 2, 4, 8, etc.) on the bottom half. To convert from binary to decimal: Build the binary number on the top part, lifting the plates when you need a 1 and lowering them when you need a 0. Always align the number to the right, following the logic of a calculator. Sum all the powers of 2 the are uncovered by plates to get the decimal number. Example: Convert 101110 to decimal. 1) Build the number, aligning to the right. The top part will read: 0000101110 (check images). 2) The covered pow
