How can you fix problems with allignment?
Firstly I need a CNC mount and I need to modify the truck to make everything nice and squareā¦ But as it is I am totally burnt out trying to get this to work for the past month or moreā¦
I used 2kgs of filament prototyping, lots of time and money tooā¦ About to give up honestly
Maybe you could use CNC trucks and make your own mount?
What are CNC trucks? You mean custom trucks?
Anyway I changed back to Spursā¦ Because the alignment is less sensitive they are actually quieter than my helicalsā¦ (Also metal on plastic vs metal on metal).
Will need some real world testing to see if it holds upā¦
Yeah I meant that or just regular precision trucks.
Is what you have similar to FatBoy Mini Drive Train 1:3 - ESK8 Mechanics - Electric Skateboard Builders Forum | Learn How to Build your own E-board
I wanted to make something like this but I didnāt know where to start.
My plan was to design a geared drive for caliber II and Torqueboard 218mm trucks, why? Because I use both of them and they are very commonly used trucks in the esk8 community.
As such Iām very hesitant to spend any more time and money to invest in another set of trucks, let along custom make someā¦
As for comparing to the Fatboys, wellā¦ functionally sure they are similarā¦ build quality wise mine are light years BEHINDā¦ I would love to get me some Fatboy drives but that firstly will cost a fair bit and secondly will take the fun out of building my own.
Yeah very costlyā¦
I would love to test those gear drives out one day
I agree with this. But sometimes I like testing other peoples things . I am working on something similar but its not a gear drive.
I am considering releasing the STLs after I do more testting so people can make their ownā¦ Itās pretty straight forwardā¦ Just a matter of how comfortable you are with plastic parts instead of metal.
After a bit of testing I wouldnāt mind taking it to the machines!
The design looks interesting, I havenāt really looked into gear drive since people mostly use it for off road builds and thats not for me at the moment.
You have access to a CNC? I been dying to find some place that will help me CNC at very low quantities but without breaking the bankā¦
Geared drive for on road builds are awesome tooā¦ Other than them being louder than belts I cannot think of why I would go back to beltsā¦
Btw, I am making a larger version for my MTBā¦
Iām in love @ervinelin
Iād love an option for 90mm flywheels. This is definitely peaking my interest
Sure, Iāve already ridden maybe 50km with this version on 90mm flywheelsā¦ but I need better prints for higher durabilityā¦ Might go with some nylon prints for the motor mount and HP fusion for the gearsā¦
Give me a few more weeks to test everythingā¦
Thatās awesome. Me and my buddy can likely mill the wheel spur and casing out of hdpe or pom easily.
POM works great for gears. And Iām almost done with a spud/potato build on dual 5045 on calibers. So yea Iāll be watching thisā¦ as I just put the Fatboy mini on my Evo with spurs
I have vigorously asked many cnc factories in China and thereās many that will give respectable prices at lower quantities
Problem isā¦ I need likeā¦ ONE pieceā¦ at most 3ā¦
I found someone locally thatās willing to help, but Iām waiting for the resultsā¦
Lower quantities are like 10 it isnāt too much
If I release my STLs can you mill me some for personal consumption? Haha!
I agree, but unless I do a group buy I wonāt ever need 10 piecesā¦
Maybe Iāll do like a community mass development thingā¦ not sure what you call itā¦
Yea man no problem. if you want a set made from pom or hdpe message @SORRENTINO or I to CNC them if you want a solid plastics instead of a print.
Out of curiosity, do people CNC motor mounts out of POM?
