About this model
3D-printed 125:1 reduction gearbox to motorise the altitude and azimuth axes of a Dobsonian telescope. project here: Three identical belt stages (HTD 3M, 80T/16T pulleys, 5:1 each) are arranged in an equilateral triangle. All three stages share the same centre distance, so the same 288 mm belt is used everywhere, and the output shaft ends up coaxial with the motor shaft, one level higher. KEY FIGURES - Reduction: 5 x 5 x 5 = 125:1 - Pulleys: 3 x HTD 3M 80T + 3 x HTD 3M 16T, 10 mm wide - Belts: 3 x HTD 3M 288 mm (96 teeth), 10 mm wide - Centre distance: 64.79 mm - Footprint: 166.8 x 158.1 mm; height 110 mm (158 mm with mounting flanges) - Motor: NEMA 17 (42.3 x 42.3 x 40 mm), 5 mm shaft - Output: 8 mm shaft, 20 mm protruding - 400,000 micro-steps per output turn at 1/16 (about 3.2 arcsec pe…
