Boardnamics M1 Gear Drive + Other News

With big enough motors on 220mm hangers, there should be some collisions.

Anyone got an STL for bash guards for these drives? Would be a nice addition but idk how they’d mount other than threading through the holes where the bolts connect the two plates

Bash guards don’t need to be secured with bolts, they can simply be used with strong double sided tape.

Ok sweet, I guess I’ll design some and put them here so that people can use them. @Fosterqc are the files you have of the drives accurate?

as far as I know they are exact
would be good to print the outline

Ok cool can you pm me a download to the files? I’ll make a bash guard and make it public

do you want the bolt hole locations?

Maybe, I’ll let you know. Might decide to use adhesive over using the bolt holes bc you’d probably need M4x15 or x20 instead of M4x12, we’ll see. Mainly need length of the underside and the angle it curves at. Thanks!

or drill and mount your own bolts into the housings, I would use a bolt and a brass standoff/rubber washers on the plastic to prevent compressing it.

Hey, @Boardnamics, I just got my adjustable baseplate to try to solve my motor problem. The solution I thought off works great, but I have a pretty extreme angle in the baseplate. Can we get a pic of the new adjustable baseplate model to know if I can cut this one safely? I don’t know if I’m comfortable with no steering in the back of my board at all

In that angle my motors don’t hit the baseplate.

Edit: Don’t worry about the deck clearance, that will be taken care of later.

Why don’t you just add a riser?

Mediocre rendering of 2021 version.

What’s new from previous version?

It’s more of an appearance change but here are all the changes:

Different laser engraving
Rounded corners now
Can now be mounted drop through easier
Kingpin is threaded into the part. No longer just a pin pressed in. More reliable
Pivot Cup has hole to prevent air from getting trapped.
Allows for 6384 motors on 220mm hangers on the gear drive with no collision.
Comes with kingpin nuts now :sunglasses:

That is the plan lol, but I have a problem with the routing of the wires

For the AT gear drive, I assume ratios above 5.0 are desired so I looked into seeing if I could provide that.

I ran nerd math and figured out that 16T is allowable for the pinion gear (20deg helix) without any undercutting which weakens gears.

Final ratios for the AT drive are:
83/16 (5.20)
83/20 (4.15)
83/24 (3.50) (Maybe?)

83 so there is no common multiple. Great tooth wear :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

And just so people are aware: The smaller the gear on the motor shaft, the larger on the motor bearings will be. This is partly why I don’t want to offer anything smaller even if the torque would be better.

So would we be able to change between the three different pinion gears all on the same drive? This would give the option of changing gear ratios?

Could you rephrase that please? Not quite sure I understand what you meant
