Avio MK2 Gear Drive ABEC Clone Adaptor
Description
This is an adapter I designed for the Avio MK2 Gear Drive to ABEC Clone wheel cores. Avio himself sells this awesome gear drive that was designed for the Haggyboard Bergmeister wheels. He also sells an optional adapter for urethane wheels using ABEC or Kegel core styles. Unfortunately it does not work for ABEC Clone cores, such as those on the terrible 97mm Cal-7 wheels, or the upcoming Cloudwheel 120D Discovery wheels. Those are the wheels I designed this in mind of, as smaller wheels simply dont have enough clearance on the gear drives. These press fit into my Cal-7's with a bit of force, but all in all its a pretty perfect fit. Hopefully they work for all clone style cores. I HAVE NOT ROAD-TESTED THESE ADAPTERS, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK Print settings: -Slow and hot, baby. You want the best layer adhesion possible, so I turned off my cooling fan for the whole print. Things get a little stringy, and the inset screw seats droop a bit, but that doesnt matter (and its preferable to your adapters snapping the first time you give them the beans). -Thick as your mom, and dense like her too: I printed with 5 shells, and 0% infill. "0%?!" you might be saying. Yeah. But I upped the number of "Solid bottom layers" to 2500 (or whatever) so that the whole part prints solid with alternating layer directions (kinda like plywood). -Different strokes for different blokes: The rest is up to you. Whatever settings your printer likes, you know it better than I do. Try to optimize layer adhesion as much as possible without throwing off dimensional accuracy. Stuff required: -12x 40mm M5 button head screws (6 per adapter) -12x 10mm M5 socket cap screws (6 per adapter. *Possibly only 3 per adapter needed.) -Drill and a 3/6ths drill bit (The holes are sized intentionally small. **Possibly not necessary.) *Avio's kit only uses three of these per wheel, but since we are printing in soft plastic not CNC'ing POM, I recommend the additional screws if you got 'em. **If you have good hardware and a good driver, then you can really crank down and drilling is not required. Either way it takes some elbow grease. WARNING - THE SCREWS WILL COME OUT HOT FROM THE FRICTION OF THREADING THE PLASTIC. Dont say I didnt warn you. I assume you are seeing this having come from forum.esk8.news, but if not and you want to learn more about electric skateboards from the coolest cats on the planet, come over and introduce yourself! If you are from the forum, let me know over there how these work for you! Ill make any revisions I need to.
