This is a gearbox to motorize Daniel Noree's wonderful EMS SW1500 locomotive (https://www.myminifactory.com/object/12438).
It uses a low RPM 580 motor. All axles and shafts are mounted on ball bearings.
It's best to motorize both trucks to get more torque.
Notes:
Everything is printed in ABS.
The frame and the cover are printed with a 0.2 mm layer height.
The gears are printed with a 0.1 mm layer height.
The truck uses 6 ball bearings (3x7x3 mm) and 3 mm steel axles (57 mm long each).
The central shaft is 70 mm long.
The gears have a back slot to insert a M3 nut and are locked on the shafts with a M3 grub screw.
It's better to smooth the teeth with a triangular file.
The Motor fits tightly in the Truck turret with help of a tiny bit of filing/sanding.
