I need to convert the rotation movement of a motor to a linear movement (it has to be in the same axis of the motor). I made a 3D model in Tinkercad consisting of two parts: the first part will mount on the motor and has a shape like screw…

Here's my situation: PLA I printed a 60 mm sphere. I printed a "holder" to hold the sphere where, on one end, I have a ton of 5 mm ball bearings in a channel providing somewhat smooth motion. On the back end, I will have 3 motors that will spin the…

Imagine a thick-walled cylinder which is going to be 3D printed. I want to carve, say, ten identical detents in the top of the object, rotated around by 36 degrees. I know how to make one of these by creating a circle above the cylinder wall with…

I have little experience with CAD software, only use Thinkercad and only recently started using the Revoscan app. I know how to rotate files when slicing (in Cura) but that only has an effect on the generated gcode file, not the STL/OBJ file. But as…
