The image below shows the stage that I am at with my toy. Since my last post I have made the cam followers for the triangular cams and attached them to a small wooden dowel in the top corner of the box. I have also redrilled the main hole in the side lower as the mechanism couldn't fit inside the box. I will need to remake the lid as when I was hammering the small dowel through, the side snapped and when it was glued back on the lid did not fit.
This is a photo from the beginning of my toy showing some of the pieces disassembled, and below that is an image of these pieces put together with a temporary body to hold the cam follower in the centre in place.
I have been modelling my design off the one from the Mechanical Toys program, and hopefully it will turn out similar to it. The design can be seen in the image below.
