HARDWARE: Building Prototypes


NeoMorph

Recommended Posts

So it's been a while since I built prototypes of any sort so I am getting back into the saddle... and keep falling off lol.

My problem is gearing. The kit I have isn't that... accurate when drilling. I really need to get a better pillar drill tbh. The problem is the axles are either too close together and end up binding or they are too far apart and have horrible slack. I've been cheating and having the main axle fixed and then the other gears are on slide paths so that I can move them in or out and then tighten them down.

I miss my old rock solid pillar drill that I had at my old place. That with my small XY table meant that I could get gear axles perfect first time. Now it's cheat city lol.

Anyone have any suggestions when building gear trains?
