Herringbone gears for ROBO 3D

thingiverse

Just repositioned all necessary components onto a plate so they could be added to the robotic group with ease. Faced a significant challenge finding a suitable set that fit the robo seamlessly, given its non-adjustable stepper, which necessitates precise measurements for compatibility. Rigged down steps per mm by about 250-300 to optimize performance. It's possible there are even better sets available out there, but I haven't come across them yet - and won't until they're uploaded and posted online in the groups! Meanwhile, a quick inspection reveals that the center nut holder on the large gear is off by a millimeter, which isn't a major concern as it can be easily remedied with an exacto or similar precision tool. The following are step-by-step instructions for assembling the robo: As I worked through the process, I noticed that printing the small gear just a tiny bit oversized resulted in a nice tight fit onto the driven gear.
