Difficulty understanding complex mechanical systems through text and video alone

People struggle to truly comprehend how intricate mechanical systems work despite watching educational videos and reading detailed explanations. They need interactive 3D visualization to mentally model the spatial relationships and sequential operations of complex mechanisms. Current solutions (2D diagrams, videos, static images) fail to provide the hands-on exploration necessary for deep understanding.

Show HN: A working 3D model of an Enigma machine

I watched the excellent Veritasium video [1] on the Enigma machine, and watched the full animation by Jared Owen [2], but was still a bit confused on how the inner mechanics of an Enigma machine work. I used Astra to build out the inner components through a combination of reference images, writing o...
