Re: Gearbox Design Feedback

The way your standoffs are supported, they're almost cantilevered off the main body of the gearbox for the left and right ones. You are also using 6 standoffs versus the traditional 4, any particular reason for that? Removing the leftmost and rightmost standoffs would simplify it a little.
I think you have 2-4 too many pockets, but proper build season planning can offset the machine time in the case of a drive gearbox.
