Maker Faire Lake County 2025
String and Simple Mechanics
Home: Illinois, United States of America
See and try for yourself a few of my favorite simple mechanisms, made with string, sticks, and (on occasion) a 3D printer and modern CAD. These mechanisms are simple to keep in mind, and powerful when used in the right places.

Alex Koscica
Like many others, Alex has often seen the tech of modern times from a distance, and wondered about it. How does it work? Why is it like this, or that? What does that moving thing do—oops, it stopped moving! Thus, many lessons were learned. Putting them together into simple materials, with a bit of help from the shared knowledge of generous makers, gave many fascinating results.
What Inspired You to Make This?
I've been collecting ideas for a while, and have been impressed by what they can become when considered from the right direction. I expect many people would be inspired by them also.
