Sneak peek

Hi folks,

Im very new to the makerspace but I hope to be able to find some refuge here, I tend to be quite solitary and secretive with things I design and make. Some of this may be of interest and I’m always open to help others and share knowledge should an enquiring mind want to know more…

Little teaser below :slight_smile:

These are planetary gearboxes and housings, reduction 1/120, using airsoft bb’s as bearings.

Thanks for sharing!

Hi James. Loving the mystery as well as a big fan of planetary gearboxes. Are you building some sort of mini tank or home made wind turbine?

Hi Jan, your guessing skills are well honed, this gearbox would work perfectly for driving a generator, not in this application though :slight_smile:
These are zero slop reduction gearboxes for rotary joint, designed to take a lot of force from all directions. Only a small part of the project.

Stepper controllers, mounting and wiring this morning.
