Ellis's stuff and the disc arrived around midday today. Really lovely stuff.
shoved the disc in the bulkheads to get a feel of the thing. I'm now considering going much more nightmare style. Weight is looking good, 1182 for everything bar the HDPE/CF framing and armour.
Pulley and hub mounted to disc. Don't have any caphead M5 around so I just stuck countersunk bolts in for the time being. Bearings go in each side. Press fit into the pulley/hub.
I milled the slot in the pulley for eggbeater. The slot engages with the beater to drive it. No more setscrews there
Mounted in the robot. Spins nicely. Totally smooth, no wobble at all. Which with my tolerances/ghetto machining is a bloody miracle.
Also, I needed replacement hubs. Spinza, along with bending the mounts of the motors cracked the hub making it basically useless. Made this HDPE replacement.
