Today I fostered a tree from what will be Oracle's global headquarters. They may usher in the antichrist, but this lil fella is off to live his best life. Say hello, Elroy. image
Hey remember when Hitler was like "The Jews play victim then take over" then they played victim and started taking over and then i posted that video of them doing exactly what Hitler said they would do while they're doing exactly what he said they would do? Lol. Good times.
Hex Motor Chronicles #1 On the first prototype, a few things are glaringly obvious. -The old bearings i used to slap this together are worn and do not spin freely. Mechanical resistance. -I freehanded the holes with a regular drill which caused alignment issues. My measurements were a little silly the more I think about it. They were drilled crooked, unavoidable without a jig or drill press, I went off the gears instead of actual measurements with a square so they walked to one side or another. I'm going to need precision tools and measurements to get that right. Otherwise, mechanical resistance. -The blocks are too heavy and cause binding on the bearings even though they're pressed with nuts on both sides of the gears and bearings. You can see in the video the block rocks both because of alignment and weight. I'm going to need side plates to bear the weight of the bases. I knew this was going to take several attempts. I'll be hitting up the shop at work with smaller blocks, 1" x 3"s until I can find a reliable source for 3D printed, purpose made plates.
