Intro
This is an experimental stepper-gearbox for a direct drive extruder.
Project target
- Link small & lightweight NEMA8/NEMA11-steppers to a filament drive gear like the MK7/MK8/...
- Intended design range of gearbox ratio: Something between 36:1 and 10:1
- Compact package through choosing a cycloidal drive system
v0.1
Objective
Quickly check general feasibility using existing components:
- Nema 8 Bipolar 0.6A 4Ncm(5.7oz.in) mini stepper motor 8HS15-0604S
- MK8 gear
- E3D V6 direct hotend, 3mm
