Posted February 24, 20196 yr Hi. I have used Fusion 360 since Nov 2017 and just started with Inventor. I share my files on https://www.thingiverse.com/IonNight/designs Consider follow if you like what I do. I do take requests to new parts. I dont do shapeways due to high pricing and I dont know how my parts will work printed with powder. I only have FDM-printer at home. The gears below worked really good and a video to show its working :) Edited February 24, 20196 yr by Essge
February 24, 20196 yr Thank you! I found some helical gears on Shapeways but the author didn’t share the files so I could print them myself. I will give these a try soon!
February 24, 20196 yr Author This differential kinda worked, but wont handle any torque. i totally forgot the space between the crown and the pinion and have to make a pin for the planet gear instead of using a screw. Printed with layer height .1 and 10mm/s speed .4mm nozzle. I rather want quality than a fast and bad product. Edited February 28, 20196 yr by Essge
February 24, 20196 yr When you want i can make the file of my 20z 2m diff available for download. It is pretty solid and cant take some torque.
February 24, 20196 yr Author Oh, I thought you only had diff with the z36. I made these (post above) to see if the 8t bevel gears would work. They are pretty small, but work fine for now. Yeah. It will be fun to try yours. Have you ever done a diff like this? Dont know what is called, but its kinda different. It looks like those in rwd rc cars.

February 25, 20196 yr Author 1 hour ago, sirslayer said: @Essge really, a diff in a smaller scale... im listening !! How small do you want it? The smallest I can think of is 2L z20. Small vehicles dont actually need a diff. Bigger chance of failure when climbing over things.
February 25, 20196 yr @EssgeWhat printer do you use? I haven’t printed the pieces yet because my printer is down, but in the past I have always had trouble with the first layer being way too fat and tolerances on the bottom of LEGO-like pieces not fitting.
February 25, 20196 yr that's true for the small scale RC modeling needs all the torque posi-traction can mustard but to play with the 4th image, with screw in the center is perfect..
February 25, 20196 yr Author @TechnicRCRacer I have a Wanhao i3 plus. Yeah, Ik wym about initial layer. I use fillet in fusion. About 1-2mm. Makes the elephant foot less elephanty and more like straight down and nothing like that stupid elephant. Glue makes my adhesion very perfect. Other use nothing or hair spray. I like glue for now. The models have to cool down a bit before I can remove them or else they're pretty much stuck. Some say its glued to the bed.
February 25, 20196 yr I have made all my diffs available for download. but there is no guarantee that it works with your printer, because the wall thickness is optimized for sls
February 25, 20196 yr Author Nice. Its printed and tested. Im very glad the someone inventet SLx printers or else your designs would not have any use. It didnt tag you. Would have been a bad advertisment. The one I made was worse, it didnt have the correct gear mesh.
February 27, 20196 yr Author I made some rims. Its fun when they work out nice. natural PLA From the right: Pro Comp and Audi RS1 Concept Files below if you want to try :) Pro Comp Rim: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3456673 Audi Rim:https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3456715 Power Puller tire looks better Edited February 28, 20196 yr by Essge Added thingivers link for download
February 27, 20196 yr Wow, these rims look excellent! Got my printer up and running again a couple minutes ago and will try printing the gears now! Thank you so much for sharing your files!
March 9, 20195 yr Author Soo, the last week and today I made a couple of gears. Link1: Gears in the sizes 16t, 20t, 24t, 36t and 40t: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3480916 Link2: Clutch Gears same to the sizes above: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3480895 Link3: Gears in sizes between 17t and 39t except those sizes in Link1: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3480921 Link4: Clutch gears in sizes between 17t and 39t except those sizes in Link2: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3480907 Here are the video if you dont want to go to thingiverse. Enjoy the 50 different gears or so. Took me a while to make.
March 10, 20195 yr Thanks for sharing! I printed the helical gears and they worked straight away! I will definitely use them in the future.
April 1, 20195 yr Author This is for those few on this forum who makes big cars or for someone who likes engines. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3531707 Is there something hidden in the background? Edited April 1, 20195 yr by Essge
