not enough detail
I don't see the detail (STL) around the connection between the drive motors and the wheel hub. There are 3 screws holding the wheel on but how is that connected to the motor shaft? Where are the motors?
There is space for the motor in the "WheelHolder.stl". it should be a 27mm motor. There is space for the motor axle in the center. There are two additional holes to the left and right of this hole to securely fix the motor.
How is the motor shaft connected to the wheel rim? There should be a flanged coupler between the two but I don't see it. Your wheel rim shows 3 screw holes to hold the rim onto "something" that is attached to the motor. I built this Rover (Mechatronics version), and having difficulty using the plastic flanged couplers between the wheels and the motors: keeps slipping. So I wanted to see how YOU did it.
Ahh now I understand. I used this kind of cupping items made out of aluminum. I try to find out where I got them from. In the image you can see left the motor, middle the cupping and on the right a counter dish to connect with the wheel.
Thanks Jeanette. The photo tells me all I needed to know. Yes, I wish I had the proper couplings to start with instead of the plastic ones (photo left) I printed. However I have ordered some flange couplings that may work, photo on right.
