Simon Brooke 025575a488 Work (not yet completed) on the lower knuckles of the four bar linkage. 2025-09-20 17:49:49 +01:00
Simon Brooke 1befca0a60 First render with hull! 2025-09-17 10:46:53 +01:00
Simon Brooke b95f639c30 Well, the nose is too long, and there are other problems with the hull,
but that's a visualisation that works.

Simon Brooke 3b90a2e4d5 Added a motor -- actually in the epicyclic file, which isn't right, but... 2025-09-15 15:57:57 +01:00
Simon Brooke 87a0c3431e Subframe now switchable between aluminium and carbon versions; TODO carbon
variant lacks its wheel leg.

Simon Brooke 5231893347 Tightened up components in the subframe; added a sketch showing how the
subframe might mount.

Simon Brooke ad7c766b2a Changed the illustration in the README to represent progress. 2025-09-07 08:40:49 +01:00
Simon Brooke 8a6a6be54f This is tentative: I've moved the subframe back to the origin of the grid
in its own model, although I haven't yet lifted it so that its wheel sits on
the ground plane. I've rescaled it so that the wheel is the correct size.

I think each individual model should be build to the grid origin within its own
file, but that major components (subframe, fourbar) should be at the correct
vertical height for final assembly.

Simon Brooke 113546782f I've written a hull which in itself isn't dreadful, but which has revealed
fragility in the way OpenSCAD handles name collisions. This makes mixing
libraries highly problematic. Needs thought.

Simon Brooke d2399a464c Added tricycle.scad. 2025-09-06 09:48:28 +01:00
Simon Brooke 4473ffa5df Forgot the 'skew' library! 2025-09-06 08:04:41 +01:00
Simon Brooke dc364443d7 Merge branch 'main' of ssh://git.journeyman.cc:4022/simon/tricycle-mechanical-design 2025-09-06 07:54:56 +01:00
Simon Brooke 012a888b85 Greatly improved pedal; both secondary chain sprockets in place. 2025-09-06 07:53:11 +01:00
Simon Brooke 13503768aa Minor fix. 2025-09-05 21:45:28 +01:00
Simon Brooke 68b34d2f35 new chainset integrated into the subframe model. 2025-09-05 21:15:05 +01:00
Simon Brooke 64f75f21a7 Added the new model files! 2025-09-05 18:20:59 +01:00
Simon Brooke 386ecc79fb Added chainset and pedals; but also, now understand where libraries go. 2025-09-05 18:18:22 +01:00
Simon Brooke 5d5649ab48 Added a model of an epicyclic. 2025-09-05 12:31:41 +01:00
Simon Brooke 4cdce5dc0a A good enough for now, working, parameterised, four bar linkage. Pleased! 2025-09-04 22:09:22 +01:00
Simon Brooke 3f22298df1 Start made on the four-bar linkage. I need to remember trigonometry. 2025-09-04 17:27:21 +01:00
Simon Brooke f863799729 And we have a model subframe which is really promising! OpenSCAD for the win! 2025-09-04 12:10:31 +01:00
Simon Brooke bcea01f8b6 Created a git repository to track this. 2025-09-04 08:35:19 +01:00
