Conveyor Belt - Remixed from rjewell999

thingiverse

Yes, I don't have an actual use for this project, but I needed to flex my Mechanical Engineering muscle! So I decided to remix rjewell999's modular plastic conveyor belt design. I based all my models on his, but wanted to modify the sprockets so I could fit my overseas-bought motor into place. I had a blast designing and building this one! If you have an assembly line that you're using, these could possibly be used to transport stuff around! *The two bars on either side were added to keep the I beams from moving apart from each other (which happened). They were designed as an afterthought, and are a bit of a hack. Feel free to change them out! I published the Inventor files if you want to modify them. Have fun with it! Video of the working model uploaded here: https://youtu.be/mo3IvrBnOnA https://youtu.be/7cM0Jle0LSw P.S.: As it was asked multiple times, here are a few of the missing parts: -Belt link: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1855466. You'll need around 45 units as far as I remember. The belt links are attached with the "Belt Holder", which you have to print as many as belt links. It's recommended that you have a few spares on hand. -All screws and nuts are M3x12. (some of them are rather long) -Bearings are 5x11x5mm (https://www.banggood.com/10pcs-685ZZ-5x11x5mm-Ball-Bearings-Miniature-Bearings-p-1148729.html?rmmds=myorder&cur_warehouse=CN). I used this brand for the bearings. -The motor spins at 50RPM (https://www.banggood.com/DC-6V-50RPM-Powerful-Torque-Micro-Speed-Reduction-Gear-Box-Motor-p-1010698.html?rmmds=myorder&cur_warehouse=CN). I connected it to a 4.5V AA stack of three batteries. Sorry for the China links, those are the ones I had lying around for projects like this one. All the cables were handmade, and the motor is literally connected to a 4.5V AA stack of three batteries.
