Mad Mare Studio's Super-Worm Drive Gearbox

thingiverse

Design a Worm Drive Gearbox kit using ServoCity components and 3D models for enhanced robotic applications. TheServoCity Worm-Drive Gearbox motor is typically used for slow-moving time-lapse-like applications but with modifications, it can be transformed into a robust platform for robotics. The new enclosure is 3D printed using MakerBot Industries Support Replicator 1. Models were made by hand in Blender. The Worm Gear is appreciated in the robot world as it holds position without power applied. However, this solution isn't cheap and the pricing needs to be reduced according to the designer. A total of six items need to be printed per Super-Worm, along with additional metal components purchased from ServoCity. The instructions include specific printing orientation for each model to ensure proper printing. Several options are provided for Front and Back plates depending on application requirements. The design also includes attachment points using Flat Head #6 screws, washers, and nuts for easy assembly. Additional parts can be added to the Front and Back plates for enhanced functionality. Updates to the models will continue to improve attachment points for future iterations of the Super-Worm Drive Gearbox. Feedback and questions are welcome as the designer continues to work on the Xdroid project.
