To anyone planning on building this project, be aware you need to tune your printer to the max before thinking about printing these parts.

I can't stress this enough. Invest in a micrometre and a set of callipers. Get onto Maker's Muse YouTube channel and watch his videos about calibration. Then apply the information he imparts.

Stock profiles for printers will not be sufficient to allow you to print and succeed!

It has taken me over a month (with advice and guidance) to build a slicer profile which generates the STL files with the necessary tolerances to allow the bearings to fit and the gears to run correctly.

Happy to share if people have issues, but remember one size will not fit all! I would strongly advise using Cura as certain parts refuse to print accurately when sliced in PrusaSlicer for no reason known to man.

Be prepared to be frustrated and go through a reel of filament printing parts that are fractions of millimetres before you get there!

As roTechnic say's it's a work in progress but in a similar manner to Meccano in the old days, this is about learning rather than a print and go project. It wouldn't be fun or worth it if it was.

This is an excellent project designed by an absolute gentleman of a designer! You won't be disappointed if you embark on building it!

I really appreciate your work and the quality of the videos. Is there any chance you could export the files for your projects (also the RCLotusSeven) in .STP format as well. It would allow non-Fusion users to access the designs as well.

Thanks again for the amazing work.

Hi There,
This is a great reference project. Its much appreciated! Please can a license be generated so users can understand the terms and conditions of using the source code and provided 3D design files? If your intention is for freely using it for both commercial and private use, may I suggest attaching an MIT license?

I would be very curious to modify and test this with a hybrid cycloidal drive, something akin to this:

I saw that this design aims to increase the number of contact points, thus distributing the load better.
