Group Buy Rules:
We will be collecting orders for the whole November month and will start manufacturing these drives and hangers in December.
The group buy will operate in the FIFO principle. First orders will be shipped first. There is no minimum required amount we just want to gather many orders to be able to make them in single batches which would reduce cost and time of machining.
First shippings expected after New Year or earlier if everything goes well.
More information about Gear Drive & Hanger development can be found in the original topic.
One of the example projects using gear drive and hangers is @mackann crazy Quad wheel driven build:
Yes, I understand I just tried to explain where the price is coming from It is not cheap to produce these kind of things at low amounts, as these hangers require more than 3 axis and precision, have a whole box of 0.5mm offset axle hole hangers which don’t work correctly as they should geometrically
It’s square same as caliber but without the inverted U form I think its 18mm square or etc, will tell exactly tomorrow @torqueboards mounts work perfectly
How long should the length of the motor shaft be cut off?
The shaft of the 6374 motor of the torque board looks quite long.
Also, what is the recommended grease?
