Research and Development in Self-Replicating Open-Source 3D Printing
This post is about the work in progress on our design of an open-source 3D-printed brushless DC (BLDC) electric motor. These have the advantages of high torque, precise speed control, and no moving electrically connected parts. This is an ongoing
The idea for this work and this blog post came from Youtuber Skyentific. So hat-tip to him, and do take a look at his channel. Ravigneaux epicyclic gears are a compact way to make a gearbox with a large
It’s often the case that you need to 3D-print objects that must slot together, like the grey and red parts slotting into the white central hub in the picture above. (It’s a design for a 3D-printed BLDC motor that we’re
