Geared-Bowls

prusaprinters

<p>These bowls are actually working as a pair of gears.</p> <p>They look like bevel gear wheels, but technically, they are straight spur gears. They work perfectly well when sitting flat on the table.<br/> This was done by varying the profile shift (addendum modification) of the involute from negative to positive along the Z-Axis.</p> <p>The mechanical engineering part of this is quite complex, but nevertheless, these are some useful bowls for your sweets.</p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>Tronxy xy100 STARTT Prusa i3</p> <p><p class="detail-setting rafts"><strong>Rafts: </strong> <div><p>Doesn't Matter</p></div><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p><p class="detail-setting resolution"><strong>Resolution: </strong> <div><p>0.2mm</p></div><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>none</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong> </p><div><p>made with cura 2.1.99</p>* bottom 1.6mm</div></p> <ul> <li>wall lines 3 (x 0.4mm)</li> <li><p>spiralize outer contour</p> <h3>How I Designed This</h3> <p>Done with the involute gear feature found in FreeCAD's Gear workbench.</p> </li> </ul> </p></p> Category: Engineering
