Ladder chain sprocket design
« on: January 15, 2018, 09:54:37 PM »
Im looking for advice, where to find free SW tool to generate sprocket profile for ladder chain.
The chain is simmilar to what is used by Meccano, however it might have slightly diferrent pitch (6 mm according to vendor) and width.

it is also offered by Eitech to fit with standard spur gears module 1 (engaging every secong tooth)

Instead of spur gears id like to design and laser-cut custom sprockets that will serve as transmission on my Eitech ferriswheel in order to be driven by stirling engine.

Ive searched on this forum and gennerally on web but no succes so far.

many thanks for hints

Peter

Peter, this link seems to point to a customizable sprocket program. ...https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1246147
