I looked around for gearboxes and applications for the throttle motors we get in the KOP each year and came up empty handed. Eventhough vetran teams have heaps of these motors nobody uses them because they are utterly useless. I have decided to make a few different 3D printable gearbox solutions for the Denso throttle motors. I plan on using herringbone (double helical) gears in all the designs. I'm working on a 16/1 two stage planetary gearbox that is 50mm in diameter and about 30mm long. It currently utilizes one 608zz bearing, eight short pieces of 1/4" aluminium, and a 5/16 threaded rod output shaft. I opened this thread for suggestions, requests, questions, and general criticism
