The paper used for this project is KOKUYO heavyweight paper (A4 size), 0.17mm thick.
Fast-drying wood glue is easy to handle for adhesion.
A 6mm diameter rod is required for the gear shaft.
The layout diagram omits gears of the same type.
Five 10T_A gears are arranged on the upper side of the core dodecahedron.
On the lower side, arrange three 10T_B gears and two 15T_A gears as indicated by the texture.
The gap between the core and the 10T gear is 17mm.
The gap between the core and the 15T gear is 7mm.
