This is a simplified version of the elliptical gear I found on Thingiverse. This version is connected at the off-center pivots, and the center ring is removed entirely to accentuate the off-centered rotation.

The gear set contains two of each component above. Of course I can play with more of them into a more complex assembly, but I want to make sure the printed arm has the right strength and gears can work smoothly.
