As an undergrad, I was approved to take ME302 Synthesis of Mechanisms by the head of the ME department. I had already had a semester of Grashov crank/rocker mechanisms. These were by far my favorite classes and now I see 4 bar mechanisms everywhere. Thanks for doing this video!

Thanks for another great video. It's wonderful how you are able to simplify advanced subjects without dumbing down the content. When you were moving your model manually it looked a bit awkward. Perhaps some removable handles that were perpendicular to the four bar linkage would assist in trying to move it. If the handle was attached to the model using a bolt through the slot used for sizing the item then handle could be placed in the spot best for them.

The cycling with a servo could be made easier by adding a flywheel to the output, it would give it more rotational inertia and hence more rotational momentum which could keep it running easier.

Also, if your original 4 bar mechanism doesn't fit within the framework of your project, you can get an identical output from the cognate linkage.

It was interesting to see how the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments (ACL & PCL) for a four-bar linkage. I don't have an ACL in my right knee as I have had a total knee replacement which removed this and both my menisci. The metal joint stabilizes the knee through clever design.

If you place a small nubbin on the IN label, you'll get the torque needed to power your "action". Rather than needing to push the bar to complete a cycle or change direction.

HI Michael, I really appreciate this series on simple mechanisms and how integrated it is with 3d printing, looking forward to more in the future. Can I ask about your shirt though, 88 could be coincidental or it could be a choice, and I like you man, I don't want that to have been a choice you've made.

@@TeachingTech Great, that's a relief, and thank you for the reply! I would not worry about it if you haven't run into any issues with it, but it doesn't hurt just to be aware that 88 is used as fascist calling card by several groups. With H being the eighth letter of the alphabet and their particular idol having the initials HH. Thank you for not even knowing that, keep being awesome man!

You could have mentioned that the lever is actually changing with the angle, isn't it? The last few degrees at 9:04 didn't really change the output, but I bet they had massive torque. So you can not only change the lever, but you can design it in a way, that you have torque where needed and speed where not.

I recommend a program/game called Algodoo. It's realtime 2D physics simulator. It's free, intuitive and easy (aimed at teaching physics). You would make 4 rectangles, position them or resize them to fit, add hinges in the corners, add "fix to background" thing to the base link and then unpause and play with it by dragging any linkage. Or you could turn on motors for one of the hinges and even plot the angular speed of input and output link. Algodoo also has springs which could be used to test the snapping mechanisms from previous episodes.

Very nice. Seeing how your servo snaps into its attachment piece, how your first draft pieces snapped together, etc. it would would be great if you did a video on snap-together (annular) joints. I'm fairly new to 3D printing and would love some guidance on making parts snap together, clip to things, etc. But please inflate your bike tire first!! 😜

Reminds me a lot of the pantograph which I've used a fair bit in the form of a tool called the patorouter which lets you cut patterns into wood by following a template twice the size of the desired cut.

I am studying Kinematics (Mechanical of Mechanisms) this semester. I would recommend you to do a Grashof condition analysis on a system to know what class of movement is it going to have. Also try to use Barker’s classification to know the name of the linkage and its classification.

I used this in my animation project to make an automaton, I used thin laser cut pieces of acrylic(what was available to me at the time) but that proved to have too much flex and so the path taken wasn't reliable. But I had fun learning about it and getting it to kinda work on a toy. Now that I'm into 3d printing might be time to revisit it.

I used a four bar variation to make an oscillating archery target some years ago, but this is was before my printer and my hand tools skills were enough to get it working but not enough for it to be robust for more than a few arrow strikes. Hoping to use the printer to inprove the design and beef it up significantly. Great explanation and a good motivation to go back to that project. Thanks for all your videos, you're a consistent source of information and inspiration.
