Devlog #5 6 Speed Transmission

I’m starting to polish all the models so they can be 3d printed. I’m first thinking of tolerance and subtracting 0.2 mm on all moving parts and minimizing plastic on plastic contact. I already made a custom bearing prototype that I’m going to print tonight to see if it works. I also started assembling everything with screws and bearings and axles to get an idea for how many parts I need to set aside for the whole build.

I still need to figure out how to stop each ring gear in the planetary gearboxes to shift gears. I’m thinking of a rotary shifter with 3 servo motors but that’s for after I’m done with the actual transmission.
