The standard hole saw arbors are very poor, in that they do not hold the hole saw securely, and so make accurate hole placement nearly impossible. I have a project in mind that requires that I drill reasonably precision holes in cast iron with a hole saw so I made up this little arbor. Much better!
I am taking Rapid Design and Manufacture (MET3332) this summer. For the second assignment we had to design some device that had multiple moving components, could be printed without requiring any assembly or finishing, and used a maximum of 1in^3 of material.
I decided to print something with gears to test their functionality, so I designed this little spiral bevel gear speed trippler. You can find the files and more information here: https://grabcad.com/library/epicyclic-bevel-gear-reducer-1 |
