Did tons of cad, semi finished the parts (still need to fix some stuff) and started an assembly. Here’s some stuff I did/problems I ran into:

• I cadded the new lead screw mounts for the gearshifter. I lowk dont have any clue what I’ll do about it hitting the 1:1 gears. Hopefully there’s some geometry fixes I can make.
• The bottom moving piece (that moves back and forth following the cam) is oversized and will hit the ring for the ramp. I will change it tmmrw.
• I realized a lot of my new parts are gonna be really hard to print so I split them.
• I started the assembly. I finished the basic side (most of the rest should just be mirorred).
• I have to figure out a better way to transfer torque while also spinning (remember the linear bearings spinning smooth). The current method just has something sliding on a shaft which is high friction. There are actual linear bearings that prevent rotation, but they are crazy expensive and barely produced anymore.

I’ve also been thinking more about the one-way bearing based solution. I realize that maybe the key is just to mirror the whole gearbox and change the direction that it’s clutched in.
