How to transmit rotational power between two misaligned parallel shafts?
Using an Oldham Coupling!
This is just a model not a functional part.
Not tested under heavy load, nor for long time periods. Tolerances are tight, so some sanding is needed.
Fusion 360 file attached, so you can modify it easily.
I've used 608ZZ Bearings:

You can watch my video about this model: youtu.be/U0KGhF70WEQ.
I've seen this first on 9gag:

And I had to recreate it using 3D printing. It is a really great design, simple and effective. It's movement is very mesmerizing.
