Cycloidal Gearbox

thingiverse

My own take on a Cycloidal gearbox, loosely based on this video i saw on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBWkibie_5I Originally I used printed spur gears to drive it, which worked great until they melted. I ended up purchasing some metal ones instead. The cycloids don't seem to generate much heat at all, and I have not had any problems with the ball bearings heating up. Still, lubricating the ball bearings would be a good idea.

I cut the 3mm dowel pins to size, and ground a flat edge on the 8mm dowel pins to fit the eccentric part.
