Dyne's LD-F1 (D-O concept) build

[Dyne]

Unfortunately it's still quite possible for the drive to slip, at least when turning on carpet.





I'm not sure if it's the gears or the remaining belt. It's probably the belt, simply because I don't see an easy way for the gears to slip that badly without some serious deflection (which seems unlikely) or damage (when doesn't seem to be happening).  

Unfortunately, I'm not sure what I can do about it if it's the belts, other than try to figure out an idler setup to increase tension.  I have more bearings and M4 bolts for axles, so at least I have the hardware on hand, but it'd likely require redesign and reprinting of the side walls. Again.

If it's the gears, I'd need thicker/deeper teeth to prevent it, which would probably make the removal procedure harder.  A redesign could also be tricky to fit within our constraints, though not impossible (in fact I've already done some of it). I'm not convinced I can make it different enough to matter much, though.


I'll have to figure out a way to check which issue is -- the mechanism is hard to see with the tracks on, so I might need to get a camera on it.
