In this post you will see a vertical motor mount for a 25mm, cylindrical, DC motor. The idea is that the motor is to be placed vertically relative to a driving shaft and the power is transmitted from the motor to the wheels via bevel gear coupling. The motor is secured on the mount with 3mm screws, while the mount itself is secured on the required surface (in my case, that of a ~20mm-thick wooden chasis) with 5mm screws. I hope that you like what you see. Have a nice day.

Hi everyone, I'm writing this post as general announcement, in order to inform you that over the span of the next 36 hours I will be posting most of the work I did on Solidworks for the last academic semester, which is tied to a student-team competition I took part in, where we had to design and afterwards build a small chasis, a battery system for the chasis, as well as a chemically controlled stopping mechanism, through which the distance that the wheels of the chasis travel is determined. Anyone who's interested, feel free to check it out.

Hi everyone, About 4-5 days ago I announced that I would be posting the work I did on Solidworks during the past 4 months. Unfortunately, something came up and I lost access to my main PC, where I have all my SW files. I regained my access a couple hours ago, but up until this point I haven't gotten the chance to inform you about this setback. With this post I want to tell you that I am sorry for not keeping my word about posting my work the time I originally promised. I intend to follow through with that right after I post this message. Thank you for your understanding. Have a good day.

Hi everyone, In this post you will see a parametric bevel gear design, which I replicated from a youtube video. Because I cannot find that video as of now, if anyone wishes to see it and follow it's instructions on his/her own you can reply to this post and I will look for it more carefully. The part uses Solidworks equations for the majority of the necessary dimensions, while the ones that have to be defined by the user are as follows: 1. the pitch diameter 2. the number of teeth 3. the length of said teeth 4. the angle of action 5. the pitch angle Text regarding the identity of each variable can be seen written in english at the "comments" column of the equation table. I hope that you like what you see. Have a nice day.

Here I share with you two similar designs for a "tank" that was used by my teamates. The tank was designed to hold up to a certain volume of a chemical solution and to be slid on an electrovalve. Once the appropriate signal was given from a micro-controller the valve would open and the solution would mix with another one in a glass beaker. I used some Solidworks equations in both designs in order to constrain some degrees of freedom. The main parameters that must be set by the user are the volume capacity and some "nominal" lengths. I wrote some notes in the equations table in order to remember which variable accounts for which dimension but they are all in greek, so if anyone wants to dig that deep to these parts they have to use some google translate (I apologize for the inconvenience). Have a nice day.
