While this 3D model appers to be static on Sketchfab, it is fully prepared for animation.

It is designed to be used with an external Sketchfab Viewer API.

About this model

• Prepared in Blender and exported as a GLB file.
• Includes empty axes / hidden parts to define parent–child relationships.
• Workaround for GLB format limitation: The lever, defined as a child of the 2nd gear, should only translate. We compensate for this by subtracting the rotation in the API.
