Re: motor powered axe.

Way back at aws20 and 21 anticide had an axe. I used a large brushed motor and some mod 0.5gears. Original control.was a small.servo and micro switches. I changed this to a home made h bridge. But a scorp mini or decent servo board would definitely work. It was more useful as a grabber than an axe, ...

Spur Gears

I am looking at 3D printing some gears for a new drive train. I have only ever bought gears in the past. Does anyone have a plugin for Solidworks2010 that works out the angles correctly?
