One of many bearing holes for within the L1 Escape Wheel was undersized.
I posted an L1 Escape Wheel 3.STL file that corrects this error.

FYI, To maintain extra updated with what I am doing I began an Instagram web page @mcmaven.pdx, the place I am posting a few of my 3D printing and different designs that I have not posted right here.

I uploaded a zipped EASM file of the entire Livid meeting. With an EASM Viewer, you may rotate the meeting in 3D house, spotlight particular person components, do blowups, and so on. Hopefully the file will reply a number of the meeting questions that the Construct Notes don’t. Please message me should you discovered this fashion of documenting the design helpful, or should you did not. Thanks!
You may obtain a free EASM viewer right here. You’ll want to ‘register’ to obtain the viewer however Solidworks does not trouble you with emails. And there are different free viewers obtainable if you would like..

I am happy to announce that MakerRx is now providing a package of all of the non-printed components that it’s essential to assemble the Livid, e.g. the Nano, the stepper and driver board, the shafts reduce to size, ball bearings, and so on.
After utilizing their package to assemble the Flathead V8, I contacted them about creating kits for my designs. I discovered the price of their kits very cheap, particularly when you think about that in some circumstances you solely want 2 or 3 screws of a specific dimension, however you must order a minimal of 25 of every dimension, some components are onerous to seek out, and you must pay delivery on every of the gadgets that you simply order. Pulling all of the components collectively for a sophisticated make can get costly and take numerous time. And in a number of circumstances, the components that I ordered did not match and I needed to order completely different ones. The underside line, is that should you do the mathematics on ordering the components your self and together with delivery, you should have a tough time beating their worth.
You may order the MakerRx Livid package right here:

You too can speak to MakerRx about printing the Livid components if you do not have a printer. I really feel that their costs are very cheap, particularly when in comparison with a printing service like Shapeways.

Modified screw lengths to reduce stripping screws.
Posted new zip file (Thingiverse recordsdata 110519.zip) that features updates to the next STL recordsdata:
L2 Decrease Physique
L2 Decrease Physique Trellis2
Base Drive Cowl

Posted updates to the next STL recordsdata:
Base Drive Outer Ring a and b
Base Drive Plate
L2 Decrease Physique
L2 Higher Physique
L3 Bearing Race a and b
L3 Bearing Race Decrease
The recordsdata embrace modifications to make meeting simpler, e.g. altering dimensions to offer extra clearance and scale back the necessity to sand or file components to get them to work easily.
Additionally, use M2x4mm cap head screws to connect the stepper motor to the Base Drive Plate. If you happen to use M2x6mm screws, they undergo the Base Drive Plate, and rub in opposition to the L3 Bearing Race Decrease half, stopping it from turning.

Up to date Base Drive STL recordsdata. to incorporate gap for shaft encoder.
I modeled this design after a Jacob and Co. Twin Turbo Livid watch. I spent many hours taking a look at movies and pictures that I discovered on the internet of the unique watch.
Just like the Gyrotourbillon and the Triple Axis, I attempted to make the mannequin an correct (scaled up) model of the unique Livid tourbillon mechanism. I printed plastic screws to scale and used them as caps to cowl the metal screws that really maintain it collectively.
It is a real-time video of it, https://youtu.be/2-7S2i6AUyM
Additionally it is fairly massive, with a diameter over 200mm.
On this design, I’ve included a number of variations of the Steadiness Shaft and the Fork which offers you some options to get it to tick simpler.
Please learn the Overview in Construct Notes to get a greater really feel for the constraints of this design.
