Adam Mayer is a friend of mine and fellow resistor who may be the most prolific person I know. When he decides to do something, he commits totally. Check out one of his previous obsessions documented in the Things video series: the teletype.
Recently he got into gears and gearing and spun that interest into a rad project to make cards with planetary gears embedded in them.
He’s uploaded the plans for the geared card and the geared planetary card to thingiverse so you can make your own!
Adam may be the best kept secret on twitter. If you’re not following him, you should do so now. He’s at http://twitter.com/phooky.
