Ross yoke alpha, two parallel 10 mL syringes
Two syringes side by side, one crank, a Ross yoke solved for 90° and near-straight piston motion.
e 6 · yoke a = h = 20 · link 40 · rods 60 · strokes 17 mm (2.8 mL each) · 90.0° · rod angle < 1°

Build order
- Print frame, yoke, link, crank disc, two con-rods, two syringe pistons, shaft, pins, spacers, flywheel, tee.
- Lap each piston into its barrel; no oil.
- 625s into the boss; shaft with the 2 mm spacer; crank disc on the D-flat.
- Press the 3 × 12 pins into the yoke corners and a 3 × 20 into its top-middle; yoke onto the crank pin (1 mm spacer), collar.
- Con-rods on the corner pins; rocking link on the top-middle pin over 5 + 2 mm spacers and onto the frame-post pin; collars.
- Pistons onto the rods with 3 × 12 dowels; barrels over them from below, tips up, flanges front-to-back; pinch screws.
- Tee and mesh between the tips; flywheel behind the boss; heat one tip end; flick.
