10:1 Gear Box

thingiverse

I'm working on a larger project that incorporates a gearbox with a 10:1 ratio. The gearbox is powered by a 12 VDC Motor, which has a steady speed of 60 RPM and delivers high torque. I've chosen the right bearings for this application, allowing a 5mm bolt to pass through easily. You can find these bearings on Amazon at the following link: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00F4M1B7A/donscollecti To get a better understanding of how the gears are positioned within the assembly, I've uploaded an STL file that showcases the complete design. This can help you see the different possible combinations. If you're looking for a LEGO mounting kit to attach your gearbox to a base plate or other component, check out this thing on Thingiverse: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:992083 In the background of the video, you'll hear the sound of my printer constantly running. Here are two videos showing it in action: http://youtu.be/ZrPO8_jl2lg http://youtu.be/u9x0sFstHQE
