Thanks Matthew. The secret is in this gear, it has two different tooth pitches on each half. The top half has 30 teeth and the bottom 26. Because the small gear rolls around meshing with both big gears all the time it 'drags' the normal 60-tooth gear forwards 4 teeth each time it does the bottom-half rotation on this special gear. https://www.dropbox.com/s/neygd17rwu4wgrk/Balzer%20reliever%201.mp4?dl=0 |

3d printer earning it's keep again. This time I wanted to remove a stop button from it's housing and fit it to a steel plate more in keeping with the machine. Junking the housing meant that I had nothing to fix the switch to, so I knocked upa quick design and printed one. I even incorporated 3 tabs so the switch mount could be used as a spanner for the plastic nut. |

You're not kidding Andrew. I'm printing a cable clamp right now. Handy as a handy thing with 2 pairs of hands. |
