GearHinge is an openscad model of a geared hinge. This was developed as part
|
||||
of another project, but stands on its own as a part that could be re-used.
|
||||
|
||||
It is designed to be printed in place and without support materials. Gears
|
||||
should be rotated into the case for printing.

Printing is very sensitive to options, and slicing should be inspected to
|

ensure parts have not been connected internally.

Chamfer of 45 degrees with a profile shift of -2 has been enough to
|
||||
print this in PETG with a layer height of .15mm. These are the defaults.
|
||||
|
||||
Printing with a rotation higher than 92 degrees is likely to cause the
|
||||
gears to be fused as the block tooth may make contact with its counterpart.

Under development, should be vaguely usable.

|

1. Arms have no mounting holes for general use.
|
||||
2. No functions/workflow exists for attaching arms to anything else.
|
||||
3. Module is 1.45; it should be parametric. Hard coded values must go.
|
||||
4. Cannot be assembled or disassembled; must be printed in place.
|
||||
5. Helix angle can only do a single "turn". Should be re-written to use sin.
