About this model
I modeled this on a surplus garage door opener gear set I used for a solar panel tracker system I built. I just wanted learn how to design worm gears in CAD. Even trickier than I imagined. The worm has a 1/2" bore and holes for 0.125" Roll pins. I think I am close but until I get my printer I won't know for sure.
