GearBox v3 -Modular

thingiverse

This is a modular gearbox designed for easy scalability. If you need more speed, simply print another module and combine them seamlessly. Each module consists of two gears with a 1:5 ratio, allowing for efficient power transmission. The individual gears are incredibly robust, capable of handling significant forces without sustaining damage. Building a complete module takes approximately six hours to print, depending on your printer's capabilities and settings. This relatively short printing time makes it simple to produce multiple modules quickly. To accommodate different needs, you can scale up or down all the parts without affecting performance. I found this particular size to be the most efficient and fastest to print while maintaining sufficient strength. You'll need the following components for each module: 1 x S_Gear 1 x L_Gear 1 x B_Case 1 x T_Case 2 x Shaft The Shaft_NoCap is optional, used when you prefer a non-rounded output shaft. For two modules, you will require double the number of these components, with an additional third Shaft. To assemble multiple modules, start by building each module individually. Then, rotate one module and place it on top of the other, ensuring the first module's output shaft aligns perfectly with the second module's input shaft. If you encounter any issues or have questions, please post a comment and I'll respond promptly. Note: The provided animation is from an older version of this design. Due to time constraints, I chose to release this update without revising the animation.
