worm gear involute

My Attempt to Create a Worm Module from Scratch Starts Here! I'm Dividing the Project into Four Sections, with Section One Focusing on Reducing the Screw's Pitch by a Factor of 36, Down to a Precise 1/36. To Make Printing Easier, I've Decided to Opt for a Pressure Angle of 30 Degrees - a Notable Drop from the Typical Range of 14.5-25 Degrees. To Achieve This, You'll Need to Print the Screw with an Overhang of at Least 30 Degrees, Which Will Require Some Careful Planning and Execution. The Printing Process Itself Will Be Slow, Moving at a Rate of Just 15mm per Second, with Each Layer Measuring a Thin 0.1mm in Depth. By Contrast, the Gear Will Need to be Printed at a Slightly Faster Pace of 30mm per Second, Still With a Layer Height of 0.1mm. As for the Remaining Sections, I've Decided to Increase the Layer Height to a More Reasonable 0.2mm. To Get Started, You'll Need the Following Components: * Two Screws with a Diameter of 8mm * A Shaft Measuring 2mm in Width * Two Drill Bits - One with a Diameter of 2mm and Another with a Diameter of 2.1mm If You're Interested in Seeing the Design Process Up Close, I've Included the Solidworks Source Files for Your Reference.
