## Overview

The Da Vinci Rolling Ball Timer is a 41-piece plastic snap-fit model kit inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s original machine designs. It features a functional rolling ball mechanism to measure time, requiring assembly and painting with separate tools. Perfect for enthusiasts seeking a blend of art, engineering, and interactive décor, this medium-sized kit offers a unique hands-on experience that transforms into a captivating, functional display piece.

## Description

The handbook left by the great artist Leonardo da Vinci has undergone numerous checks on various machines and design structures. It reproduces various machines and structures that have been left in the handbook as a snap kit that can be assembled without the use of adhesives. After assembly, you can also reproduce the time measurement function by rolling the included iron balls into the groove and moving the center of gravity to recreate the time. This product is a plastic model that requires assembly and painting. Adhesives, tools, paints, etc., are required for assembly and painting. "Plastic Model" is a registered trademark owned by the Japan Plastic Model Industrial Cooperative Association. This product does not include any adhesives, paint, tools, or batteries.

Review: Mesmerizing - Beautiful, interesting-to-watch mechanism. Awesome shelf/coffee table conversion piece. I also plan on using it as a game timer, instead of those cheap sand timers. Love it. Directions were in Korean, but it's easy enough (and fun!) to build with just the pictures.
Review: Mine works! - Just built this thing and at first it didn’t work but I fiddled with it some more by taking it apart and tried rebuilding it again. There trouble may have been with how I placed the arm on or I may have placed the final gear in the wrong direction. Anyway, it’s fixed and it works now. So I guess this is challenging.

Chinese box, CHINESE assembly instructions and made from a VERY cheap plastic. Not worth the money!!
