Did your gear train loose teeth during the battle? What did you print it out of? I u...

Re: servo gears

What measures did you take to get the gear running concentric? I wasn’t that scientific – printed the cog to the same height as the horn, stuck some superglue inside and pushed the horn in, then used a flat bit of scrap to push it down to keep it level. Because it’s so small any variance is unnotic...

servo gears

Another question. gear trains with servos. Im sure at AWS57 I saw someone using a servo with a custom head that was a cog driving a pincer. I wondered how feesible it is to print such a thing? and if so how to simulate all the little grippy teath that the output of a servo has. or is there a far sim...
