Elevador Toldo Automatic Awning

thingiverse

I wanted an automated system to control my awning from inside my home, so I bought a new motor and designed a reduction gear to make it work properly. The issue with most awning motors is that they require manual intervention, which conflicts with the electric system. You can see the system in action here: https://youtu.be/NJfYiYFO-Hc, https://youtu.be/RnPG1de2NF0, and https://youtu.be/5dx23oNTkuw. To build this project, you'll need to purchase the following materials: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07882FYB7/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072V7MG87/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LYNACNX/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Additionally, you'll need some https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008P4ZY04/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1. It works perfectly! I'm thrilled with the result. The planetary gears are designed as a single piece, but I found that adding a horizontal size compensation value of -0.12 mm in Simplify 3D makes it work even more precisely.
