Rotation to linear redesign

thingiverse

I have been working on this project for a while. This newer version of the gear system had some adjustments from the last version. These adjustments are minor improvements but also add a feature(dual rod system). A dual rod system can benefit pumping mechanisms because one side pumps in while the other pumps out. The dual is still nog perfect. (like most of the things) With my print, there is some friction between the rod(s) and the rode slider. However, I didn't use any lubrication. The NEMA 17 motor could move a single rod gear system but, it doesn't have much strength. A gearbox may be necessary or a more powerful engine. Assembly is straightforward. A.However, keep in mind that the big gear M3 holes are in the middle of the inner gear M5 holes. (sie foto withe black arrows) B.The big gear M3 nut holes should point to the gear holder. It is a modular system so, what you need depends on how you build it. Thingiverse didn't like the way the text I had made. I needed to readjust it so. Letters are the option you can choose the numbers are the parts you need. gear holder inner dia 5 mm or 8 mm: A. gear holder singel 5/ 8 (mounted to system): 1. big gear(printed) x1 2. M5x20 bolt(printed) x1 3. M5 nut x1 4. 5mm inner dia wasser x2 5. M4 Set screw x2 A. gear holder dual 5/8 (stand alone): 1. big gear(printed) x1 2. smal gear(printed) x1 3. M5x20 bolt x2 4. M5 nut x2 5. 5mm inner dia wasser x4 6. M4 Set screw x2 A. centerings piece: 1. M5x25 bolt x4 (lengt dependt on mount) 2. M5 nut x4 (dependt on mount) A. RodMountHolder: 1. between part(printed) x1 2. M4x25 bolt x1 3. M3x12 bolt x2 4. M3 nut x2 rod mount: A. rod mount single: 1) rode slider(printed) x1 2) M5x25 bolt x2 (lengt dependt on mount) 3) M5 nut x2 (dependt on mount) 4) 8x200 mm rode (minimum length) x1 5) M4 Set screw x2 A. spacing block(if rod mount single is used, it is more for astatic): 1. M5x25 bolt x2 (lengt dependt on mount) 2. M5 nut x2 (dependt on mount) A. rod mount dual: 1. rode slider(printed) x2 2. M5x25 bolt x4 (lengt dependt on mount) 3. M5 nut x4 (dependt on mount) 4. 8x200 mm rode(minimum length) x2 5. M4 Set screw x4 A. inner gear slicer settings: I have printed this model with PLA, 0.2 layer height, and 33% infill. I thought about moving the designs to the old version and renaming de old files. However, this way is much cleaner and easier to find the files. Ps. Sorry for some of the naming of the parts is not my strong point.
