Constant Velocity Joint for TestDrive
Print Profile(1)

Bill of Materials
Description
The 3D-printed universal joint worked well on the TestDrive. However, it wouldn't meet the shorter joint requirements for my new model.
I'm considering using a 3mm-to-3mm metal universal joint (FC004) from Bambulab or a Constant Velocity Joint based on the Rzeppa design.
I tested my simplified Rzeppa joint (using only 4x 3mm steel balls) on my TestDrive model and it worked quite well. It ran smoother than my universal joint.
I wanted to share this here for TestDrive users who would like to experience another mechanism.
