Greetings all; I am determined to create the adapter to bolt or clamp to the worm bearing boss stick out of this BS-1 in hope that I will eventually get that encoded motor I ordered. So I went out and took some measurements.
The diameter of where it will clamp to is 28mm. The diameter of the worm shaft sticking out of that is 19mm. And this 19mm shaft is double flatted, 10mm across the flats. Now, where do I find a freecad tut that will allow me to create a ring that will clamp or grub screw to the 28mm piece, and flare out to about 50mm diameter to mount this worm drive and motor when it arrives and I can take some measurements? I have managed to create a starter cylinder but haven't found where to set its length or or diameter. Rank, brand new bee here IOW. And its solid rod, not a ring, so is probably a throw away at this point. The youtube videos are confusing because they are outdated. These 2 seems to redefine the phrase "moveing target". Since I've installed the AppImages of both freecad and cura, 2 weeks ago, both have been updated several times, and I have added shortname links to the AppImages, in general making them no-brainers to run. But I do have to fix the ln's when they update. Thanks for any guidance. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
