This project introduces 3d printed planetary gear actuator. The planetary gear actuator is equipped with a VESC firmware-based motor controller, and the motor controller hardware has also been developed in my other project (https://hackaday.io/project/167660-mj-vesc-circular-type-ver-03). The planet gears have the gear rate of 8:1 and the external diameter is 56mm. The motor used is a Tarot 4008 (330 kv) motor. The 1-stage 8:1 gear rate enables fast motion, good back-drivability and very little gear backlash. The gear design was done by 'Design Accelerator' in Autodesk Inventor. The gears has 14.5deg pressure angle and 25deg Helix angle. The ring gear has 70 teeth, planet gear has 30 teeth, and the sun gear has 10 teeth with gear module 0.65mm. The entire actuator module design file is 'mt4008_Act_Ver8.iam'.

This is correct file for planet gear.

These look like they might be good actuators for a delta robot. Among other things, of course.

  Are you sure? yes | no

Thanks for your comment. I will make some robot using this.
