Spirograph Design Basics

This is very eye opening. My 'rents gave me a lot of secondhand toys when I was a kid, and I ended up with just the gears and no base. Of course I never figured out how to make the funky shapes.

How do you stick the Spirograph to the paper?

My wheel (gear) keeps slipping over my ring.

Hola te puedo enseñarte a usarlo

This is super information - Question - How do you find the "Least Common Multiple"?

Thanks for being clear and coherent. I am a 71 year old and I always wanted one, so I bought one for my grandson and now it's on and poppin!

Cool. A bunch of ideas. Really cool. Thanks a bunch.

How do you use the straight thing verses the round ?

Brilliant, thank you

I ordered this today for my granddaughter who's 6 and she is very artistic. she will love this.. as I loved it as a child. Your demonstrations and information helped so much thank you! With your demonstrations she'll really really love it!

What type of pen do you suggest or work better for you? Great video. Thanks.

my favor old time spirograph toy...
sadly american company dont make it their own spirograph toys

❤️

Hello and thank you! Would you please recommend the best adhesive (e.g. what you used in this video) and the best paper - I am finding the paper splits after 3 or more spirographs.

Nice. THANKS 😌🙏

Thanks

I can't find you on Instagram!!!!

This is so detailed and cool. Loved it. Thank you!

If you made a spread sheet with the most common, why not write a q&d spread sheet formula to just calculate it? You could even plug in hole location and start/stop location. Let me know if you want me to write it for you. Love the channel!

well explained thank you makes so much sense now

TY TY TY TY!! This has helped me out so much!! I used one as a kid with a ZILLION HOURS OF JOY!! Glad to have a nice set again!! But, I had forgotten some of the basics. My 3rd one turned out so nicely!! Very well explained.

How do you move the inner wheel without missing/slipping the teeth? For me that is the hardest part of it.

beautiful donuts

So so helpful .. I can’t thank you enough .. I was struggling.. now knowing the 1/2 cm movements has made such a difference .. I enjoy it now 😁🙏🏽

This is the first time I've heard of spirograph math. Very interesting.

The explanation in your video is very nice. I have one of these sets. What is the use of this design? I hope you will answer the question.

Thanks for playing your videos

Thanks for playing your videos

Very cool!

doing the math has changed everything, thank you!

Thanks, this made sense to me! Do you ever put the gear on the outside of the ring? Does the math work the same way for the number of points?

v good thanks

So happy to have found this. Thanks for your generosity in sharing.

Parametric equation time!

x = R cos(θ) + Rp cos(θ/R – θ)
y = R sin(θ) – Rp sin(θ/R – θ)

😢It's a bit difficult. I don't like drawings with holes on the outside😢

I got one for Christmas is it supposed to come with the putty my box didn't have any

This was SUPER helpful! I started messing around with a Spirograph recently and wondered about layering designs and this was the perfect help! Love the math part too! I feel like I’m grasping it more now than just messing around in bafflement 🙃

Where can I buy the spirograph larg =ings

It's kind of hard to understand the instruction guide

How do you not have holes in your paper with so many passes of the pen

Please tell me where I can find the lcm spreadsheets mentioned here!

Good morning,.. Thank you for your work. I wish you a good day..

I am a Beginner but I saw a long thing. It looks like a measure tape, but it’s plastic. It’s with the circle. What is it?

My mind is blown! I don't think I ever systematically did spirographs but this is so cool!

What are you siding to keep your rings stable? I always get cramps from holding my rings in place.

wooow, thanks for the video 🤗
