These renders are BEAUTIFUL! I mean, seriously professional quality work there.

Nice gearbox! Do you really need to support the output shaft of the CIM? Most, if not all, of the gearboxes that I have seen don't support it, which makes me wonder if it is necesary for you to support it in your gearbox.

Thank You! I think I spent more time watching the render progress bar than actually CADing... :p

To finish the whole thing you should definitely throw in the CAD of the bearings and hardware.

Very nice rendering! And it's even LASA purple!

Would I be correct in guessing that behind that center shaft you've got a fisher price motor through an AndyMark planetary? :yikes:

Looks like you guys could have a very nice setup next year.

Why is there a very small radius on the edges of the outer face of the outer plate?

That seems like it'd be a very time consuming process to cut.

It kind of looks like a chamfer to me. Could just be an aesthetic touch.

Just a bit of aesthetics. The render did not look nice without it! I'm working on getting the main plate done the same way too.
