I went back to see where I learned the most, and it was the first podcast on chains. I’ve used chains for decades on bicycles, motorcycles, 3d printers, and machine tools, but it was basically “cut and paste”. I’d never really thought about using them in my own, new designs.
Before watching this podcast I’d have just used string-and-pulley mechanisms and hoped for the best. Now I can see where using a chain, sprockets, and motors, would make for a much more controlled interaction.
