Re: Gearbox for mechanism or appendage
Good questions.

The backlash is somewhere around 1-3 degrees.

As for the efficiency, I really don't have the right equipment to measure that right now. It is abs plastic and it's not melting, if that's saying anything.

Attached is a picture showing whats going on inside. The gearbox ended up being pretty simple, kind of ironic considering the path it took to get to this point.
