Re: pic: Introducing BarBox: My First Attempt at Gearbox Design

While I don't know which gears you're using specifically and thus their bore sizes, maybe try a smaller gear size on the second stage. You could obtain the same reduction using AM 14 and 28 tooths etc and make the box more compact and a tad lighter.

Additionally replacing the enclosure with some standoffs would retain structure but save considerable weight.
