That's a cool and clever little prop I;d love to see how the mechanism works.
Hmmm....it took me a considerable amount of time to come up with a mechanism that could be 3D printed.

If I get even ONE person ordering this, then at some point, I'll have to post a video on assembly. Till then, I'm keeping my secret.
Not sure what you mean, but I see how it works.
If you didn't see the rotating 3D view of the object on Shapeways.....then I'm more impressed if you figured it out.
Perhaps you missed the
I was trying not to say how I figured it out. I think maybe your lock peg should be a bit thicker though. It looks like the key points are about to push open.
Otherwise it's a great design, well done.
Excellent! I've been waiting for someone to come up with a working version. Nicely done! I just have a few questions... Is it easy enough to put together? And any recommendations for paint? Can't wait to get my hands on one of these!

For comparison, I grabbed a screen cap of Jaded Monk's original design. You can see that his FLAPS are also not flat. They are raised a bit. I think this is just how it needs to be.
