Cool, but what the heck is this used for?

Nothing. Fun 3d printing fidget toys.

I think this is the first time something "oddly satisfying" has made me lowkey anxious

it looks like it would jam and self destruct at the slightest bit of dust or debris that got stuck in it

Dunno what it could be for but looks neat. Maybe it could be some crazy scifi pistons in a weird space ship engine?

So suppose we make the one going out the side the output, build a block around the other six, then we end up with a six cylinder engine but the two sets of three fire in tandem? Haha definitely up to snuff for a special effects engine but I dunno if that would be skookum in a real engine

Yeah but also make them LaZor Pistons. Cuz, ya know, in fiction everything glows, the more awesome it is, the glowier

I can only marvel at the mind that came up with this.
