<p><strong>//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////</strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR FREECAD 0.19</strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;">You can download it from <a href="https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Download">here.</a></p> <p><strong>\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////</strong></p> <p><strong>[28-07-20] UPDATE:</strong></p> <p>A new feature has been added to the design, which allows for the creation of a mirror operation of wheel A. This enables the generation of A - A' and B - B'. Additionally, a small bug related to alignment between the cap and base has been corrected.</p> <p><strong>[25-07-20] UPDATE:</strong></p> <p>Plan views have been added in a PDF document containing references for each parameter. This allows for a better understanding of how the wheel is designed, in both languages.</p> <ul> <li> <p><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/download:8545031"><strong>Mecanum_Referencias_es.pdf</strong></a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/download:8545033"><strong>Mecanum_References_en.pdf</strong></a></p> </li> </ul> <p><strong>[24-07-20] UPDATE:</strong></p> <p>Hello again! After uploading it, I worked on this and corrected some bugs in the design. I also commented on all parameters for better understanding, added some automatic cells to speed up the design process, and translated the original file into English. It is now available in two languages:</p> <ul> <li> <p><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/download:8546127"><strong>Mecanum_generator_es.FCstd (Spanish)</strong></a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/download:8546128"><strong>Mecanum_generator_en.FCstd (English)</strong></a></p> </li> </ul> <p>Perhaps I'll add more features later, but for now, farewell!</p> <p><strong>[23-07-20] PUBLICATION:</strong></p> <p>Hello! This time, I wanted to create a mecanum wheel and test different things, such as various forms of rollers, their quantity, and dimensions. So from the beginning, I aimed to make this design entirely customizable.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;">All parameters that model the pieces are completely modifiable. I created it in <strong>Freecad 0.19</strong> with <strong>Spreeadsheets</strong>. I recommend using this version of Freecad.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;">Just download the file <strong>Mecanum_Generator.FCStd</strong> and in Freecad, open the windows as a mosaic and you're ready to generate your wheels.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;">Once the piece is made, the clean versions for getting the STLs are in a folder inside the file called <strong>Resultados</strong>.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;">I'll probably have to make some adjustments soon, so stay tuned!</p>
