The press printing model has a self-inking mechanism, which can automatically re-ink by itself, and thus you don’t need to re-ink before every use.
The mechanism draws inspiration from the self-inking stamp. Its design incorporates an ink pad within the stamp casing, eliminating the need for a separate ink pad. When you press down on the stamp, the mechanism moves the rubber or polymer die onto the ink pad, applying ink. Simultaneously, it flips the die onto your desired surface, leaving a clear impression. This automatic inking process ensures consistent and clean results with each use.
The wooden mechanical gear toy is operated by a handle and is self-propelled. You can explore the marvel of the transmission mechanism with this replication. When assembling, you can apply wax to make gears rotate smoothly.
As assembling small parts of the tram requires precise hand-eye coordination and manipulation of objects, this classic tram must be a good choice to boost the brain. It helps develop fine motor skills, which are essential for activities like writing and drawing.
There are clear and understandable illustrations and texts in the manual. Take out the corresponding numbered pieces and assemble them as per the manual. In addition, we also have a detailed assembly video posted on the official YouTube account.
