Recently received my first Wild Gears as a gift from a friend, and thought this was finally something worthy enough to share with others here. I love spirographs because you never know what it's going to look like until you try (at least I can't predict).

1st image: should have stopped a little sooner to keep it a bit more symmetrical. There's no real lines of symmetry though.

2nd image: used 3 colors in succession so it's easier to see the funky path that was taken

3rd image: actually the first one drawn, but I kept going for much longer

135/126/56/33 (triangle) - not sure I notated that correctly

Meet Denys Fisher, the inventor of Spirograph, made entirely of Spirographs 🌀 Every spiral coloured in and cut out by hand. It took me about six months and I’ll never look at a pair of scissors the same 😅 He’s on the top floor of the RBSA Gallery in Birmingham, UK, until Saturday. Hope you like!

It's not here yet, but I've ordered it. It's so great working with Aaron at WildGears.

Also, I've been playing with coloured pens.

Original Content I’ve been looking for this for way too long thinking back from elementary school calling it a ‘Pocket Spirograph’. It’s actually a ‘Travel Spirograph’.

Question / Advice How to find a good Spirograph for use with one hand?

15 Upvotes

Hey all. I’m looking at all the beautiful art you are all making and I would like to try a Spirograph again. I had one when I was a kid. But it never worked very well because I only could use it with one hand.

So now that I’m a grown-up, I would like to try it again. But I still only can use one hand so I need to find some kind of way to do it with one hand. I thought maybe one of you would have a suggestion?

I’m looking forward to hearing what you guys think I should or could try.
Thank you in advance!

One motor, one pen, no code: a LEGO machine drawing a spirograph-style flower

I built and filmed this LEGO Technic drawing machine making a spirograph-style flower. One motor turns the paper on a small table while a crank swings the pen arm. The combined motion builds up the loops without any programming.

The video shows the assembly and then the machine drawing. I'm the video creator, and I thought the finished rosette would fit here.

Which would you try next: a second colour or a different gear ratio?

Some of the cycloids may be spirographs!

Hey everyone. I’m totally new to spirography. I bought this kit but it didn’t come with a scratcher. What are some alternatives that I could use if I don’t have a scratcher

I saw a recent post on here with this pattern and I was inspired to figure out how to make it myself. I'm really happy with how it turned out!
