The 3d scanner is cool, but I am really impressed by the custom molded parts. I would love to see more about this process.
while this is cool, most people don’t have access to mill their own gear set. I’m actually looking to doing some 3d scanning, but have not found a gearbox slow enough yet.
Totally, jonathan! The gearbox rocked.
