3:1 scale 3D Printable and 1:1 scale Curta Mechanical Calculator Models

I have made public my Curta Mechanical Calculator models. I have a 1:1 scale version and a 3:1 scale version for 3D printing. I also have a blog detailing my build progress and have received a lot of positive feedback on Reddit.

I was hoping to see the Model of the Week contest start back up before I made these public, but oh well.

    Nice job...  Sooooo much better than finding a bunch of STLs on a website.  You might consider sharing with edit to a few users like jdunne@onshape.com :)

    We can branch and make a few modifications on separate branches

    That looks like a really well done model - thanks for making both the CAD and STL files available!  Did the PLA parts shrink much after they cooled?  I'm wondering if the part dimensions are suitable for machining them or if you had to fudge the dimensions to account for shrinkage.

    Great work @marcus_8 ! Your use of Onshape best practices results in a very complex final assembly with great performance. I particularly enjoyed your method for creating the knurled texture.
