Nested Telescopic Screws

thingiverse

I created some intricate screws for my robot project. The concept is a screw-based linear actuator that combines ease of use with precision engineering. While creating nesting screws was relatively straightforward, designing them with retention mechanisms so they telescope without disassembling was a significant challenge. Furthermore, crafting them in a way that can be printed using vase mode, resulting in a single sturdy shell, proved to be an even greater obstacle. After numerous trial and error attempts, I finally succeeded! I hope you appreciate my achievement. If you decide to print one, please share photos of your print in the "I made it" section.\r\n<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/eWePbZ1vSQM?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>\r\nIn due time, I plan to post the entire mechanism as well.
