Simple Clutch Assembly Model

thingiverse

Hello - I tried to make a model of a motorcycle clutch to help teach new riders the concept of a clutch, and how it can deliver and remove power from the engine to the rear wheel. I made this super simplified concept to demonstrate that. I bought some 4" circular sand paper to represent the "friction" plates, and a hobby pack of battery packs, electric motors, and on/off switches on amazon. I used super glue to stitch everything together. The spring is not my design, I used this one designed by layerone: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:687668 All in all it works as a concept, although the little electric motor I bought is not strong enough to spin with the spring pushing against it, so I'll have to revisit this. Either buy a stronger motor or a smaller spring/smaller friction plates. If anyone has any ideas hear please let me know. Otherwise enjoy!
