thingiverse

This is a 4-Speed transmission modeled in under eight hours using SpaceClaim. There are a total of 50 parts. Print Settings Printer Brand: LulzBot Printer: TAZ 5 Rafts: No Supports: Yes Infill: 15-20% Overview and Background Introduction The purpose of transmission in a car is to convert the torque created by the engine into a larger amount of torque through gear ratios. This means that in a low gear, the engine spins faster, but there is a higher resultant force on the tires, meaning the vehicle is able to climb steep hills, accelerate faster, etc. In a high gear, the vehicle will move faster, but will have more trouble accelerating, especially on an incline. Lesson Plan and Activity Plan See instructions for details. Estimated time to completion: 1-2 weeks. Materials Needed Materials This project will require a great deal of time, as well as multiple spools of filament.
