Mamamaddi - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
My 10 year old son is very much interested in robots, artwork, and modular building toys. This product is the marriage of all of those things, so it’s already gotten a lot of love in my house. However: the plastic parts make the most awful squeaking noise on the planet as the machine is cranked to make art. Also, you’re meant to crank it with the tiniest little peg in the set. That hardly works because it takes so much effort to turn the gears, so you end up turning the large gear directly, which hurts your fingers. There’s also a gear in the system that frequently slips. I tried looking up tips to adjust it (since my 10 year old built it himself) but I didn’t find any troubleshooting. I think I’m going to have to take it apart in my own to check it. I’m thinking maybe oil on the metal rod will help the squeaking, but the only solution for the crank is to find a way to build it out or cover the main gear in something softer for turning. Also—unless you have a sharp pencil, a pen works very well in this system! The artistic product itself is much finer than what you might make with a Spirograph, which is cool. My son also has a Spirograph animation studio, and the sticky notes from this kit work very well in that too. All in all I’m pretty happy with the purchase!
