Re: How 3D is becoming less relevant for me

I would suggest the design process starts even earlier.
What are the requirements?

What motors ( rpm and torque curve) can I use
What ratio is required to match the motor and output.

Spacing needed for gear, sprocket or pulley system.

Once you have requirements and math done, you can then look at different implementations that would most efficiently solve the problem.
