Servo Motor Adapter for Direct Drive Steering Wheel Fast Relase Clamp

prusaprinters

<h3>Project Description</h3><p>I'm following the open FFBoard (direct drive force feedback project) over at <a href="https://github.com/Ultrawipf/OpenFFBoard">https://github.com/Ultrawipf/OpenFFBoard</a> and working on my own mechanical system in my spare time. For this project, I bought a 2.6kW servo motor from eBay and a steering wheel fast-release clamp. To bring both parts together I designed an adapter and want to share it here with you including all project files.<br><br>Feel free to modify it to your needs and share your remixes with the community.&nbsp;</p><p>I've provided both, the servo motor and the fast release adapter, for your reference (and my benefit) in the affiliate links further down. If you have bought something different it may not fit without modifications.</p><p>The current design fits tightly on the motor shaft and is additionally screwed with an M6 screw onto it (including a washer to provide more clamping strength against the print).<br>You'll also find a little indicator on the adapter that marks the neutral position of the wheel. The fast-release adapter needs to be oriented correctly to snap the steering wheel safely into place. This indicator helps with that.</p><h4>Printing Notes</h4><p>If you have good bridging settings the adapter should bring without additional support structures. However, if you experience issues, create a support enforcer (e.g. a cylinder shape) and place it in the middle of the object onto the print plate.</p><p>I recommend using a lot of perimeters (<strong>five or more</strong>) and a dense sturdy infill pattern (20% at least). This adapter will experience a lot of torque during operation and should withstand this.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>Please share your experience by providing feedback in the comments section.</p><p><br>Happy printing,<br>Martin</p><h4><br>Support time</h4><p>Please also look at my other designs, printer parts, and tools.</p><p>Please consider following me if you like to support me and my work.</p><ul><li><a href="https://www.martinmajewski.net">MartinMajewski.net</a></li><li><a href="https://twitter.com/MMajewskiNet">Twitter</a></li><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/martinjmajewski">Instagram</a></li><li><a href="https://goo.gl/QJTQKv">YouTube</a></li></ul><p>If you like to buy me a coffee to stay productive and creative, you can do so by sending a tip via Prusaprinters.org or PayPal...</p><p><a href="paypal.me/martinmajewskinet">PayPal.Me</a></p><p>... or by using one of the following affiliate links below (without any additional​ costs for you!).</p><h4>Products seen or related to this project</h4><ul><li>Servo Motor 2.6KW 10NM including driver:<ul><li><a href="https://ebay.us/dcYqSz">Ebay.de</a></li></ul></li><li>Steering Wheel Fast Release Adapter:<ul><li><a href="https://www.gearbest.com/other-tools/pp_009783629075.html?wid=1433363&amp;lkid=82599378">GearBest.com</a></li></ul></li></ul><h4>Generic Affiliate Links</h4><ul><li><a href="https://amzn.to/2BppJuW">Amazon.de</a></li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/2VUPlZS">Amazon.co.uk</a></li><li><a href="https://ebay.us/gNODcn">eBay Germany</a></li><li><a href="https://www.gearbest.com?lkid=13789568">GearBest.com</a></li></ul>
