Watch a punch press come to life
This compact model of a C-frame mechanical punch press is more than a static ornament. A small electric motor, powered from any USB port, drives the gear train and the large flywheel, and the crank moves the ram up and down over the yellow worktable – the same motion a real press uses to stamp sheet metal.
Highlights
- Working drive: motor, gear train, flywheel and moving ram
- Powered from any USB port (USB cable attached)
- Grey frame with white and yellow details, buttons on the front
- About 180 mm tall, 70 × 60 mm footprint
In the box
- Assembled punch press model with USB power cable
Good to know
- Plug into a USB charger or computer port to run it.
- 3D-printed in PLA and assembled by hand, so small surface marks from printing are normal.
- This model ships by a special line because it contains an electric motor (magnets) (see the shipping note).
- Contains small parts. A display and teaching model, not a toy for young children.
