Got some water and a box of pizza. Looks like ive got a lot of designing to do!
Hey that website is downā¦ I want to see more ~! Is that for sale already?
I think they may have abandonded that projectā¦
hehe, does that mean theres interest in something like that? This was just gonna be a project for me. If I can perfect it, I will definetly share it with the community here!
Anyone seen any videos of helical gears because theyāre said to be very quiet but hard to find in every way.
But printing themā¦the hardest to manufacture part seems easy now if u make it big enough to be strong enough. Maybe. And while they would look awesome be a shame and have to cover them. But bet that could even make a clear composite like that pic. Carbon where needed in the mold. I would love to try but too busy for that monster. Print all the parts make molds of them. Pour and suck them w fiber already in the mold or make a slushy w carbon. If u can print the parts and make molds ā¦
lol I know how that feels. Iāll probably end up printing the bigger one with something like abs+ or something strong like that to reduce cost. Of course, this all depends on durabilityā¦
I am designing a single wheel drive version right now cause Iām too lazy to figure out how to put a differential on it atm
Which wheel type is most popular?
- Flywheel Style
- Kegel Style
0 voters
Flywheels are hands down more popular due to the vendor support from enertion, diyes, and others. Though I think Kegel style is a bit easier to work with.
Yea more of a question of does ANYONE still use Kegels
Ollin, Enertion, diyes still is going to use/use/still carry kegel compatible pulleys.
I guess Iāll just design bolt on āinsertsā for both then
The insert design is why I use Enertion pulleys. So much easier to deal with than DIYES pulleys.
differential housing has oil which the differential sits in for lubrication. iām sure you knew this.
Yes of course, but thatās not seen as a problem is it? The āgearboxā contains the oil, thereās no chance of leakage unless the housing is compromisedā¦
This would mean one sweet sounding, almost silent dive train!
Its In the making now
Ill post pictures in a bit
Look at the no words just pics thread and someone has posted a pic of there bevel gear setup. It is almost identical to your first model. You might be able to ask him/her is there was any problems building it
I saw that one. I have started a design on a different version. More like the design posted a couple posts up by @darkkevind. I havenāt totally scrapped the other one though
Here is a quick picture of what I have so far:
Doesnāt look like much, but that was a ton of work. In that picture is just the axle for one side. They will be a standard 180mm hangar truck unless I change it later. I still have to design a hangar, a gearbox (this one will be fully encloused ) and a whole bunch of other stuff. Ill keep chugging away until I fall asleep today and continue work tomorrow
Make sure to put some sort of small valve so you can remove and change the oil ore grease you will be using
The gearbox will be removable.
If you use a thicker oil in the differential you have a limited slip differential, it would help when one looses traction, but when i say thicker, is really thick, the ones you turn the bottle upside down and it doesnāt move
