Printing:
Print Buildplate 1 which includes Box, Edge and 3 gears.
Optional Buildplate 2 for an colored edge if you like to match with your diorama.
The boxes without motor, which should linked to a driven box, uses the same parts exclude the tiny motor gear.
Tip for gears:
I've received some feedback (maybe A1 Printer) about no good fitting gear distance / skipping gears.
First make sure your outer line width is around 0,35.
If you have ongoing problems, you can try adding a positive value (0.1 to 0.2) to “contour compensation” in Bambu Slicers quality section. It is recommended to reprint all gears with the same compensation.
What you need:
→ check BOM for links
- 4pcs magnets Ø8x2
- 2pcs M3 screw 20mm
- 1pcs rechargeable kit (Only for one box)
Assembly:
Lubricant all gears, this will reduce the noise. You can lubricant the inner track path from your diorama, as well.
I hope you like this little project.
