How to Build

  1. Print all parts without cogs with 0.25 mm layer height or thinner.
  2. Print all other parts with 0.20 mm layer height or thinner.
  3. Sandpaper all parts slightly and make sure they were printed as intended. This might not be needed at all for the parts printed in PET-G.
  4. Assemble the motor, MotorECU and Back.
  5. Glue SunGearA on the motor shaft using Loctite 648 and the mount tool.
  6. Assemble the rest according to the explosion drawing.
  7. Make sure it is functional by rotating the wheel by hand. If it does not work, more sandpaping or better printing may be neccessary.
  8. Run the motor for a bit to make the gearbox smoother. This could also be done by hand.
  9. Take it apart and lubricate the internal parts slightly with lithium grease.
  10. Assemble it again and use Loctite thread lock for the M3x4mm screws for preventing them from loosening.
