Motor Gearbox Remix for the simplex

thingiverse

This is my take on a remake of the motor gearbox as the model motor the original model is no-longer available this is remixed to fit a similar slightly larger motor body. The motor for I have used for this remix is available here: https://www.rapidonline.com/Catalogue/Product/37-0144?UID=6428903234&utm_campaign=Rapid+Order+Confirmation&utm_medium=email&MID=551309793&utm_source=Rapid+Transactional After raising a support request with technobots they confirmed it is now discontinued, they are sad about it as the original motor was a good seller.. A warning, I have printed and test fitted the parts, but I have not completed the model yet.. if you do use this and you complete the build before I do then please let me know how you get on with the motor.. and these parts, if I hit a problem I will come back and update this. I noticed the original part was prone to flex with this may have been ok, however i felt it could do with more rigidity for my personal preference so I've mad the part a bit thicker in places... The pictures show my test print, next to the original part, all the mounting points do appear to line up. although my printer at the time is jamming on last few layers.. (no idea why... sometimes that's just 3D printing) Many thanks to Dave Watkins for this excellent model. V2. Added cut-out for the Delrin chain, increased size of hole for front mount of the motor, also reduced the size of the holes to be tapped to get a cleaner thread... The first mockup of this showed that there were a few things to tweak.. I will be testing this redraft soon.
