Next week's video for Patrons is about Cycloidal Drive development. I'd really like to design a compact reducer for robots that can be 3D printed, but doesn't have small teeth that can snap off the gears at high speeds and torque. This might be the solution...?

Video comes up early next week for Patrons.

Vibration is definitely an issue with this one, as well as some other things. I'm working on a V2 now. I really need no more than 10:1 reduction so that the whole thing is back-drivable which is why openDog V2 works at all. More info in the video.

Using one or two disks? In commercial ones they often have two to balance it better, but it still isn't perfect. Strain wave gearing could be fun to explore too.

Ah, good idea. My prototype used just one (and had way too much friction, etc).
