Shop Floor Exclusive 
We have been spurred on by playing around with some new Helico gear ideas. Itâs been a while but our much loved Helico doesnât get a lot of mentions over here, not since its redesign 3 years ago. From fiddling with them non-stop during all that time weâve had a few ideas and now decided to put some of them to the 3D Printer.
To create our experimental planetary gear ring!
Its purpose is not yet clear but it is fun to fiddle with. We donât think this has reached its final from but wanted to share this little bit of fun with you all!
Helical Gears 
This month our newsletter had a lot of âgearâ talk, and Helico is of course the MetMo gear. We love a helical gear and took a deep dive into the subject in our blog post âHelical gears are the best thing since sliced threadâ, because letâs be honest, they kind of are!
Theyâre also a thing of beauty and have inspired some big name brands. Head over to Reddit to see our post on this!
Get Your Multi Drives Out 
Have you been tinkering, building, or creating lately? Chameleonzi posted his homemade MetMo Driver stand over on our subreddit and oh boy itâs a beauty! 3D printing has allowed people to turn their ideas into a reality, which weâre a big fan of. We created the Multi Drive with 3D printed creations in mind, making it the ideal tool for perfecting your printed pieces.
Pocket Drivers in the Wild 
Weâve been sending some of our Pocket Drivers out to content creators so they can put them to the test. Jonathan from Shadow Foam compared our original Driver to the Pocket Driver, and itâs fair to say he was a fan! Imogen, a fellow DIY-er, used her Pocket Driver to hang some pictures in her newly renovated home, a job the Pocket Driver handled with ease of course!
Malaga 
At the start of the month, MetMo holidayed in Malaga 
. This was to celebrate the huge success of our Fractal Vise Kickstarter campaign, the biggest yet! One of the highlights was our walk of the Caminito Del Rey.
The construction of this engineering marvel was no small feat. Built with the limited technology of the early 1900s, workers faced the daunting challenge of carving a pathway along sheer cliffs. The original structure consisted of concrete walkways supported by steel beams and handrails. Despite the dangerous conditions, the project successfully connected key points along the gorge, facilitating inspection of the dam and transportation of materials.
By 1905, the Caminito del Rey was operational, not only serving as a practical tool for the hydroelectric project but also standing as a remarkable achievement in early 20th-century engineering.
It really was and is a true engineering marvel!
