Hi Chris, Yes. I'm printing out the bits from that article. Unfortunately he's locked the fusion file link so only the STLs are available. I was going to cast some of the parts and turn them to size. And look at creating the flex part from steel since I have gear cutters and an arbor. But to do that I have to finish installing the STMBL controlled harmonic drive.
Meanwhile just like a worm drive and gear box that I printed I want to just play with the shapes. I like what Sam S. did for his.
