I could read it well enough to see that they only quote prices.  The
old saying is that if you have to ask the price you can't afford it.

I can see where plastic gearboxes might be a good solution in perhaps food
service or other places where you can't have contamination from
lubricants.  Or maybe if you need to have it work while in contact with
saltwater.

 The thing that very few You tubers do when designing 3D printed

 the design from the ground up knowing they will be using plastic.
 Plastic has very different strength and stiffness to volume ratios.
 So if your part looks like the metal equivalent it is a good clue

 If you need to print a reduction gear and need a really big ratio
 the Cycloidic reduction system really does work better especially if

andy - thank you.  I am going to have to draw up the 200 tooth outside gear
and see how that works..  (the diameter of the 200 tooth would have to be
the same diameter as the 202...)   What is nice about what I have right now
is the pitch of the 2 gears is the same - so you can engage a lot of
teeth.(like if you cut the inside flex gear it would wrap all the way
around the outside gear and mesh)

In any case if I were to use a harmonic drive it would not be a "bolt-on" I
would design the housing at part of the robot skeleton.  This is the
advantage of 3D printing.  Can save a lot of weight and space by
double-using a structure.   Hence my interest in printing these.   Someday
I hope it will be possible to make good quality four-leg machine the size
of a dog at a reasonable cost.

The motion of the flexspline is quite complicated. HD are rather proud
of their special profile.
Here is the actual flex-spline from my broken HD.

It's definitely not a normal gear or belt tooth shape.

Triangular shapes would slide down and back the slope better and smoother 
as the bearings are forcing the mesh.  But the belt shouldn't be rubber 
or similar elastomer faced as it will need some sort of chicken fat for 
lube if its going to be at all efFicient at the sliding. And the lube 
should be compatible.  I's seen cisco recommended but my results weren't 
really that good, although it didn't seem to hurt either.

I'd agree if we can find a belt with the correct tooth profile. But I'd 
probably have to argue with the helt makers to get it while waving the 
checkbook. NREngineering costs would eat our lunch for the first 100, 
102 tooth spline belts 4 or 5" long and say 2" wide to give it room in 
he middle to flex with an inch between 2,  1/2" wide pulleys. Even 
somebody hungry would need 50-100k$ just to get started on such a beast.

But the bearngs pushing in from the outside sounds like a good idea. The 
input and output shafts would have to be coaxial, on the same face or 
maybe that would be a good excuse to put a bearing on both ends of the 
input shaft.  Details to be worked out. But first, a suitable belt. 
Without that, the idea is dead just from the cogging we would get from 
todays tooth profiles.

Trying to wrap my noodle around, this.  Two gears with the same pitch but 
different tooth counts won't have the same diameters.  So do they fudge the 
pitches on the two so the diameters are the same, that way the band only has to 
flex in a single axis?  Not sure how well that would work on the coarser 
pitches of a rubber toothed belt, or what it might do to backlash and wear.

I just did t quick Google and found several companies who make belts
"sliced to order" in any width.   6" wide if you like

The other way to "print" a flex cup is the print a female mold and fill the
mold with urethane and kevlar fiber.

I'm working on a robotic/prosthetic hand that uses this technique,  Many of
the parts are made with a very strong kind of urethane.  This stuff really
takes a beating.   This is really a good way to use a 3D printer, You can
make multi-part molds that come apart to allow the molded parts to be
removed.

Re: [Emc-users] digitizing tablet

2021-01-26 Thread Chris Albertson
It depends on what you are doing with the tablet.   If it is
non-critical an iPad or even a cell phone works, you simply run a remote
display and your finger is a mouse.   Almost everyone already is one.

But if used for drawing, wacon  is the best and used are not expensive.
I've got two of them.  Even the really old wacoms still work with Linux.

Apple trackpads work on Linux too.   They are excellent but maybe not big
enough for critical work.

That said, I don't use them much with Linux.  I use a normal mouse for CAD
work and have an Apple Mac for photoshop-type stuff.

Re: [Emc-users] Maybe a minimally printed harmonic drive?

2021-01-26 Thread Todd Zuercher
For the belt idea, it might work better to invert the whole thing,  So you have 
the belt teeth in and one gear with two fewer teeth than the belt, then the 
follower wheels on the outside of the belt compressing it to mesh with the 
smaller gear.  The hardest part might be finding a belt wide enough to reliably 
flex between the two gear diameters.  (Something tells me this sounds better 
than it can actually work in practice.)

Is there a reason you need triangular splines?  I think round ones might
work better.  They are the best shape for timing pulleys

You are NOT going to find ready-to-print STL files.No one has done a
really good job on this yet.  I'd suggest a from-scratch design that starts
with a stock belt and builds the rest of the product around the belt.

Re: [Emc-users] Maybe a minimally printed harmonic drive?

2021-01-26 Thread Chris Albertson
The weak link on all 3D printed harmonic drives is the flex cup.  The
plastic fails after some hours of use.The best design I've seen to
overcome this is to NOT print the flex cup.  They used a wide double side
timing belt for the inner teeth.

The thing that very few You tubers do when designing 3D printed machines is
to not simply copy the design of metal parts but start the design from the
ground up knowing they will be using plastic.   Plastic has very different
strength and stiffness to volume ratios.  So if your part looks like the
metal equivalent it is a good clue you are doing "eyeball engineering" and
your experience with metal is influencing your design.

If you need to print a reduction gear and need a really big ratio the
Cycloidic reduction system really does work better especially if the
rolling parts are sealed bearing units that are press-fit into the plastic.

That said, I've printed parts in plastic to directly replace metal or even
rubber and I just have to accept the very short lifetime and low strength.
 Plastic is a good material to verify ideas quickly.

In any case, use a timing belt for the flex wall and it might last 30 years.

It might be worth trying the style without a cup.
You have two internally toothed gears and a double-height flex-spline.
The gears have 202 and 200 teeth, the flex-spline has 200.
That means that the flex-spline is static relative to the 200 tooth
gear, but moves the 202 tooth gear.
apart from anything else this means that the input and output are
through the chunky internal gears, not the flex element.

I can't. I spent a couple months trying to make one that would survive 
and overnight run with a nema-17 motor spinning it, no load, overnight 
at 500 rpms. Out of every sort of string I could buy including TPU, 
which was too soft but still failed by over flexing the the spline cup, 
either delaminating the walls, or breaking it off at the bottom of the 
splines, or more regularly, at the junction of the spline wall and the 
disk connected to the outout shaft.  The spline that Sam had in his 
hands with 6 bearings was the general model but the cup would need to be 
2x or more deeper just to absorb the flex without fatiguing the plastic 
to the eventual failure point. Higher ratios would help because it would 
reduce the flex with the smaller splines, but if I were to try with that 
version, the drive disk at the bottom of the cup would be thickness 
profiled to make that "hinge joint" stronger and the disk thinner.

There is reason those commercial versions make the spline as thin and out 
of a springy steel. And I don't think you can duplicate it in plastic. 
Those quick failures are the reason I put a servo motor on the bs-1.

used it with Linuxcnc to know that it actually works with our version of CL.

Thanks for the links Andy I'll look them over and see if I can actually

I could probably make the outside gear pretty easy by shaping it on a mill

to make the outside gear.  (outside - as in the non-flex one)
