3D Printed Gearbox - Speed Test [Episode 2]

How fast can we get these 3d printed gears to spin? What are some practical applications for gearbox mechanisms like this? In this video series we will find out.

Learn how to design your own things for 3D Printing using Blender:

Follow along as we 3d print different gearboxes, try different gear ratios, explain the science behind these mechanisms.

How familiar are you with the gear wars?

[GodBlade]

It's not like we wanted to see how fast the last gear was spinning or anything

[Nathan]

7000 RPMs is actually how much most cars could go before they need to switch gears

[jgoes]

Trust me, this video will get a lot like millions of views

[MenelBOT]

"Why won't more machines use this mechanism?"
Torque... Torque is the answer

[MidnightToker]

Finally a guy who will spin those kind of gears fast.

[Zeazy]

hey can you put a mark on each gear so we can see how fast each one spins a little better? just like a sharpie mark or something. that would be cool. thanks

[DijaFix]

I began to get increasingly bored of the endless feed of gear reduction videos on YouTube. Feels like everybody does those so it’s gotten old a long ago. However, finally someone’s making gears spin faster. That is much more fun and interesting to watch. Thank you!

[Nationaliberty]

"why don't I attach a drill to it?"

He is catching up

[Zafkar]

Adding a fly wheel at the end might be interesting too

[SuperOtter]

I looked at your Patreon and your tiers say "3d pinter" instead of "3d printer"
"Join the 3D Pinter Academy community and help us "make 3d printing accessible to everyone"."

[Driften_Banana]

Me in pre-engineeering class: I don’t want to do gears
Also my what I like to watch on YouTube:

[cheedam]

Finally someone who did this, thanks man, my curiosity's cured.

[sockdrawerman]

You are like the first one to do a gear ratio to increase speed, thank you.

[Evangdf]

I love it when small channels show up in my recommended

[nuclearpasta]

I WILL DO ANYTHING/ PAY HOWEVER MUCH FOR ONE OF YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG I'VE WANTED THIS EXACT THING!!!! PLEASE HAHAHA

[JTV-jfky]

Finally someone did a video on speeding up gears and not reducing

[domknights]

Im just loving the little shorts and its nice to see you taking suggestions, i dont know it just seems really cool and down to earth haha

[revopl]

Man, got here through YT shorts recomendations, and I love your video, sub and like it is, great video production quality and commentary/descriptions. just started my 3d printing adventure recently, and watching loads of videos related to anything 3d printed. And watching at the moment all sorts of video just to soak in knowledge, probably I'll binge watch quite few of yours 😜 thanks

[shoobfloof]

Finally someone that actually spun the torque end of the gear reduction to see how fast the last gear would go. Most videos I see of these things have someone only showing the speed end being turned, so the last gear barely moves. And then they often get so many people asking “spin it from the other end to see how fast it goes” but if they make a video they either just say you can’t or they don’t really try. You actually built one, and intentionally tried to spin it from the other end so we could see how fast it was. Definitely cool to watch!
