About this 3D model

High-Torque Conversion Kit for Toroidal Launcher This is an add-on modification for my Toroidal Launcher design that replaces the final stage of the gearbox with a lower ratio gearset designed for high torque. The standard 1:3 ratio gears are replaced with a 1:2 ratio set featuring larger sun gear and twice as many planet gears giving the modified launcher a 1:32 ratio gearbox. Specifications 1:2 gear ratio 0.75mm gear module for easy replacement; uses existing ring gear and housing Printing Tips The included print profile adjusts several of the standard settings and is what I've found works the best for speed and quality when printing gears. Arachne wall generator 25% infill, 5 bottom/top walls 75 mm/s inner and outer wall speed For best results calibrate flow rate before printing Assembly Loosely insert four of the planet gears into the planet carrier. Insert the sun gear followed by the two remaining planet gears. Once all gears are aligned push each planet gear down until it's firmly seated in the carrier. The sun gear should be held in place by the six planet gears. Insert the carrier assembly into the threaded ring so it sits flush. Remove the threaded cap from an assembled launcher by holding the output drive bit and twisting the threaded cap so it loosens. The following parts will be reused from the threaded cap assembly, set them aside. Screw the high torque gear assembly to the launcher housing using the existing hex drive to connect the two stages. Use the original ring gear and cap to secure the complete assembly. Done! As with the original design it can help to add a bit of lubrication to ensure all parts move smoothly.
