This is a very impressive piece of work, it must have taken a lot of trials to get it to the point where it functions so well, these mechanisms are really hard to reproduce without using a lot of metal and very high level mechanical engineering skills. Doing it in plastic helps with dimensional stability but it increases friction and compared to say brass the surface finish is much worse. I wonder how long it will last before parts will need replacing due to wear.
