Harmonic Drive

Well as expected the first version of the drive failed the flex spline cracked.
Reasons for failure are
  • the bearing race is unreliable and dosen't run true causing the drive to miss steps
  • Flex spline the blue ABS is brittle will try with the yellow (its more elastic )
  • wave generator bearing were in fact only PLA bushes  they worked fine but the need to be 1mm taller

Next test will be with the new bearings
