A hobbyist engineer developed a high-precision, zero-backlash angular gearbox using 3D printing, offering a novel solution for torque transfer without traditional mechanisms like bevel gears or belts.

American maker Czinger Vehicles announced this week that, with the help of Xtrac, it will be the first automaker on earth to include a 3D printed, topology-optimized transmission into its vehicle ...

However, in the place of a potentiometer, this design instead uses an AS5600 magnetic rotary position sensor to read the servo’s angle, via a magnet mounted in the servo’s gear.
