Model of a worm drive gearing

thingiverse

A precise model of the two primary components of a worm drive is designed to be printable.\nThe component features a small stand that showcases the gear ratio effectively.\nFor optimal results, the worm shaft is divided into halves during printing and then carefully assembled together using glue specifically used for model airplanes construction.\n\n Instructions The model is printed in PLA on a Reprappro Mendel 3D printer with a 0.5 mm nozzle diameter and 0.3 mm layer height, resulting in precise details.\nThe absence of support material is a result of the worm shaft's unique design which is divided into halves before printing and then glued together using model glue, ensuring stability and precision throughout the model construction process.
