"Alien Orreries" - 19/05/2019 Pendant Assembly
And finally the pendant.
I used exactly the same rear fitting design as the hearts commission. Combining a piece of tube to rivet through, with a bail, in a single component.
The gear motion on this piece was the worst, and needs both hands to rotate it without sticking.
The sticking is due to slight irregularities in the pin spacing, and can be rectified given more time.

In the end, my pin spacing calculations were flawed, and I had to bend the lantern gears inwards a bit to make them work.
Hopefully this is not terribly noticeable and I can revisit the maths next time (if there is a next time for these designs).
