I don't really know what "close up" is so I don't know if this fits or not.
This is a 3D print form about 20 years ago when 3D printers cos around $100,000.
I got it at a show back when I was a designer.
For those interested, this was printed as a single piece and all of the gears turn.
11 slices at 2mm per slice.

I would love to see a video of it in motion.

Looks like a cutting head for a drill

I made a crude video of the gears moving but UHH crashes every time I try to upload it.
I've never tried to upload an MP$ before do I don't know what the deal is.

Don’t worry about it. It was just to satisfy my curiosity.

That is interesting. I've been able to post gif animations here. I know you can make those in Gimp.

I got this to load.
Sorry about the quality, not my area of expertise, if I have one :)

Quality was good enough to see what I was looking for. I somehow thought that each pai of gears turned in opposite direction from each other. Still very interesting.
