I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video, printing the parts and putting the vise together! I have one question: The gears have some undesirable play and they tend to get unsynchronized, resulting in de vise going offset. Also, the gears slip if I try to clamp something in the vise. Everything else fits perfectly. Is there any way to fix this?
Hi. Thanks for a great tutorial. But I am struggling with the first sketch. I cannot create the the 'Top View' sketch correctly. At 2:44, I cannot enter 180/NumRolls as the angle, this over constrains the sketch, so it can only be a driven angle dimension. I can't understand how the 2nd circle helps? Has anybody actually managed to complete the Top View' sketch with a resent version of Fusion 360? Since cannot get that angle constraint entered, the diameter of the bearing does not change with the number of rolls, and therefore breaks the parametric design of it.
To answer myself, in the Top View sketch I only draw the main bearing circle and the ellipse. I make the short & long diameter of the ellipse as in the video. Then I make the diameter of the main bearing circle = ((RollDiameter + GapSlide) * NumRolls) / 3.14. I skip the tangent line and circle around the ellipse.
i am in the process of making this but i dont know what kind of axis and screws i need, can anyone help me with getting the right ones for the print? i would really appreciate it.
Thanks for the inspiration. I had given up on the concept of a printed mainspring and had ripped apart a tape measure to use its spring instead. But this proves how effectively it can be printed. I am not making a clock but do need a concentric design similar to this one. I'm making a wind up toy and hope to share a video of it, if I am able to figure it out. Too bad I don't have fusion anymore and am atrocious at using it anyways, but I appreciate your models and will reference your main spring design for my project within my CAD software. Thanks for the help!!! Cheers! :D
This specimen is truly something. From a magnetic PLA armature to Halbach stators with no backiron, this video quietly turns traditional motor physics on its head.
Outstanding work, outstanding design. I'm printing this now! I do a lot of PCB soldering, and this awesome vice is precisely what I need, I'm tired of having to use blue painters tape to tape my work to the bench to hold it steady! Great work man, subbed!
I sincerely doubt your claim, that this motor is 80% efficient. Any motor that can perform as a generator CANNOT deliver what you claim. If my memory is accurate, Dr.Peter Lindermann says that these kinds of DC motors deliver just about 55% or even less. This is why BLDC motors fitted on EV's, are not able to deliver good driving range, because a lot of the energy is wasted as heat. But nice video and commendable effort from your side. Thank you.
Super cool design. Have you thought of using fusion 360 seems like it would allow for a more precise design? I’m trying to make my own clock and was wondering how did you go about designing the mainspring and hairspring? Any help would be greatly appreciated
