Here's the CAD for what I've built for next week's video for Patrons. This is a concept piece that I've been thinking about for a while. Guesses?

Video will be up for Patrons early next week.

There's worm gears, so you need to turn something fairly slowly and without back drive. No, got me stumped.

3x Flexible tubing drive shafts or belt-drives to move what? Something with low-mechanical resistance to avoid stripping the worm-gear interface... conveyor-belts/elevators for light payloads? Sweepers, to move balls along flat track? Hmmm...

Reminds me of the gearbox in ultrons arm

Three slotted output shafts driven by a cam lobed perpendicular drive shaft. That must be for...

Neil Devonshire

Looks like a ball sorter for different colours maybe, there's a drawer or something that could move back and forth underneath and trays to drop the balls down?

I don't what it is but my guess is that it is another stage of the great ball contraption.

motor output selector system. Not sure what it's official name is!! 2 motors, one to drive the second down a lead screw when mounted to a carriage. This forms a selector system for the 3 output options that you can then move the motor to. Reminds me of how Prusa did the MMUv2 to select the different filaments. Looking forward to seeing how this gets implemented!!! Edit: have you also left room for encoders on each of the output shafts? You can then keep track of their positions and move them very accurately with the worm gears... Best guess it's for winding in/out a choice of chords (elasticated for compliance??) which are acting as ligaments in a series of joints for an arm/leg setup??

Not sure but whatever it is it'll be cool!

So I think it could be a portioned dispenser of maybe food stuff? like ingredients for pizza toppings or something? Although saying that I can't see why you'd want to make that

Faraz Sayed

ooh, I know, its to stick onto another thing that has 3 knobs on it, and be able to adjust the knobs with just 2 motors!

now I'm thinking og things with knobs on em and I'm guessing something like an amplifier, with Base, Mid and Treble.
