Description

# Overview A mini, working model of an escalator. Turns via a knob on the right side. Motorized version available at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5375662. Latest Fusion file: https://a360.co/3JnNqV1 Video: https://youtu.be/95yZLk6EauM Update 4/20/22: Tweaked the end plates to reduce potential cracking and increase step clearance # Non-printed parts - 13 M3x12mm bolts - 12 M3 nuts # Printed parts Print 64 chain links, 32 steps, and 2 end plates. Print 1 of each of the other parts. It is critical that your printer is well-calibrated precisely leveled before printing these parts. The steps in particular are very sensitive to bed leveling/adhesion. You'll want the first layer to squish only as much as is required to prevent warping; any overextrusion or elephant's foot will prevent the steps from running smoothly. I recommend applying some elephant foot compensation in your slicer to make sure the first layer is the same width as the others. ## Assembly
