Gears, most wanted

Thanks, missed it when I looked through before.

They both look really good. Do you think the free running 8z would now be strong enough to make a compound sprocket with a 24z? You could then build high ratio gear trains on just two axles without resorting to worm gears. Especially now TLG is releasing axles with round portions specifically to reduce friction/wear on idlers.

Keep up the good work.

Finally got around to sketching it out in LDD.

Green gear and shaft is standard, so is red. Orange and yellow are the proposed compound gears (without cross hole) running freely on the shaft.

What do you think?

wrong topic, but do you want printed flex axles

a wormgear which fits to 20z double bevel gears

Sweet, thanks. Is that for a set of three? Just assuming from the photo, it doesn't say one way or the other in the description.

[efferman]

at shapeways you get at every time what the picture shows. in the case of the 24/8 combination you get the thre gears which you see on the picture

edit

a diff for lego city cars. at the axle it is 5 studs wide, but this can be changed to more or less in different versions, because the axle and the knob gear in the diff are one piece . the main gear of the diff is a 16z , driven by a worm
