Greetings!
So this is for 3D printing. I've already designed a part that holds a nema 17 motor and it need to have a 4:1 Gear Reduction. The actual reduction is not critical. Since this already exists. I measure the Center of Motor to the Center of the shaft (Threaded rod) which needs to be turned. Which is 50mm. So I need to design 2 gears, one on the motor (smaller) and one on the threaded shaft.
I've read all the tuts on angles and modulus.
But is there any easy way to generate the profiles for 2 gears like this? I'm thinking if the tolerances are too tight or loose, I don't think you can just scale one up?
I've googled to some PAY to Play gear designers, but they did not show such a simple gear reduction?
Thanks
Max
