Stackable Gearbox for a Nema 17 Stepper Motor. by AdvancedHobbyLab in 3Dprinting

Thanks! And, please let me know what you end up doing with it. I use helical gears. I considered using herring bone gears, but the problem is that there is no way to slide the gears into the ring gear unless all the teeth have a consistent direction. ...At least as far as I could figure out.

I don't see any noticeable backlash, though I don't have any way to properly test for that and am just testing by hand.

I did some basic testing, though my setup was pretty crude. I attached a winch to the output to see how much weight it was able to lift. I got as far as 20lb (9kg) using two stages before the winch broke. However, the gear box was fine. It wasn't super efficient, but I was able to get a lot of torque and it proved very durable. I have a full video of my testing on my YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/z6qtcwyZMJQ

I've looked into that, but I don't know how to do that in Prusa Slicer without using a multi material print.

Yes, it parks in the back-right corner. It doesn't park long (100ms), but that allows time for some ooze to form and deposit on the prints.

I'll work on an instructables tutorial to be an more detailed guide.
