So tweaked and tested. Now running on dual Ninjaflex toothed belts (7mm width, 5mm pitch). This gives loads of torque and extra tension but won't be able to test in anger until I get the body assemble...

The next test is dual thin toothed belts. From the initial tests these worked well. Here goes.

So this weekend has been all about the drive system. 4 weeks of designing the outerfoot mechanism and so much to think about. The 2-3-2 mechanism which will come later. The cable routing. The drive be...

Printed most of the outer foot frame and drive mechanism. Frame is really strong (used as a 'roller skate' with my 200lbs on one foot! Solid). Drive belt and gear need a redesign. I made the belt too ...

Omniwheels completed (and works). Drive wheel and tyre printed (very happy). Frame for motor also complete. Just got to finish the frame design and assemble. Excited.

For me, this is the most important bit. I've based this on a 12v Razer Scooter motor. It is a belt drive with an omniwheel at the rear, this will allow the 2-3-2 mechanism which I will probably d...

Test print of drive gears, tyre, pulley and belt. All looks good. Using Bridge Nylon (Taulman) and Ninjaflex. Whilst the belt seems a little slippy on the print, I need to test once assembled. I've ma...

The center foot files have been tested, designed with no support needed, 2 prints for the main shell and they've come out perfectly!
2017-04-21 06:12:56 +0000 UTC View PostI'm just revising the Omniwheel design. The four wheels offset leaves a gap which makes a noise. I'm creating two pieces to offset the wheels so the gap is removed. More information soon but wanted to...
