New design for the Gimbal

[eugeni...@gmail.com]

Hi everyone!

We have a new design featuring 2 L-shaped brackets making a U-shape combined. We've implemented this because the 3D printed plastic parts are bending under the weight and lever distance from the motor axis out. So the 1st axis needed a bigger motor and the now U-shaped bracket is holding in 2 points (Gimbal is standing on 2 legs now). We have also added a counter weight to balance the the gimbal on its 1st axis. The parts are printed and the Gimbal is assembled and tested, video from Jim on its way,

Here is the link to the New design

NOTE: the 2nd leg of the Gimbal, the side without motor, that leg is attached to the U-shaped bracket with a bearring we had at hand (From hard disc) but the design can easilymodified to fit custom bearring.
