Until now, you regret that you did not have a constructor, or just want to ponostalgirovat? Today we tell you about the wooden model of cool UGEARS - perfect entertainment for people of any age and gender.
What is UGEARS
History startup Ukranian Gears began in 2014. At that time, the company's founder Denis Okhrimenko had to packaging designers in your own kitchen is literally on his knees. Then there was the exhibition Made in Ukraine, the launch of the online store and the promotion through social networks. As a result of monthly sales almost doubled.
During the campaign on Kickstarter mechanical designers instead of the planned 20 thousand dollars collected almost 20 times more.
About UGEARS learned literally all over the world: the models sold in the UK, Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic, orders come even from Japan.
How it's done
For the manufacture of models tried different materials - from cardboard to polystyrene and acrylic. Cardboard quickly wears out, the wooden slats was too high defect rate, so you end up staying on the plywood thickness of 3.5-3.7 mm.
Details are laser cut, so no splinters and there is, in principle, can not be. Thickness of cutting - with the human hair, when assembling the elements are ideally adjacent to each other.
To collect the constructor does not need any glue or any additional tools.
Even only toothpicks and gum bank will need to model the most complex - they are complete, but it is not forbidden to use their own. When assembling the moving mechanisms can be useful candle: it lubricates parts for smooth running. Thanks to the detailed step by step instructions to assemble the model everyone can.
The lineup
Now in the collection UGEARS 14 designers - from simple 3D-puzzles before moving models. Start your acquaintance with a possible "Tribikov"- a set of four simple figures: a tractor, a cat, head and heart.
This constructor like children: it can collect a maximum of one hour, and the result, despite the apparent simplicity, it turns out quite decent. If you wish, ready models can be further decorate, such as paint. However, wood is fine and of itself.
mechanical box - Candidate for the title of the most unusual present for supervisor, colleagues or partners. Usually in such cases do not know what to give, so hand over any plain bullshit. 3D-Puzzle - is a case where you do not have to blush for a dull gift, and the recipient will not pretend that the next insanely happy dust collector.
UGEARS model carries the nines all the stereotypes - such a thing will decorate any desktop. The set has two removable covers, so it's not only the box, but the card holder. Click on the lever on the side of the mechanism is set in motion and opens the lid.
Another fun thing - safe with a combination lock. Beautiful thing to develop, which lasted eight months. Just consider safe in detail, it is something supernatural.
The model consists of 179 parts, the estimated build time - 6-7 hours. Lock set code known only to you. Otherwise it is impossible to open the safe, except that the spread structure to pieces.
Next model though looks complicated, but it's going to just a couple of hours. air motor like even those who do not understand the technology.
To bring the mechanism into motion, you need to blow into the appropriate tube or attaching the balloon.
Inside the platform on which is fixed the engine, there is a hiding place for small things. Such an additional burden - a valuable quality for a souvenir.
Finally, the most complex puzzle - locomotive with tender. To spend three or four nights for his assembly will not be ashamed even to adults and serious man. And enough already to think that designers - only child's play. Children with this is simply not right.
The dynamics of the model looks more elegant. What sort of cars, helicopters and copter - wooden locomotive is much better!
To close the gestalt from childhood dream of a toy train, can be purchased separately moving the rails and station model. Benches to meet the train, lampposts - all as expected. By the way, at the platform there is also a drawer with a lock and key.
I will not torment you long conclusions: UGEARS - this is a very cool model. An ideal present for anyone who just will not peredarivat and stuff in the far corner, but would not eyesore.
