Calypso Cardan Assembly

Image
In this post I would like to describe how to assemble the "cardanic" part of Calypso Cardan. Please keep in mind that Calypso Cardan is not a commercial product but a Do It Yourself project. Feel free to implement your modifications! In the first step you'll need to get the 3D printed parts. They are available on Shapeways (a print on demand service):  https://www.shapeways.com/shops/turbolino Of course you can print them on your own 3D printer. In this case you can download the models from the shapeways website. You'll need to create an account first. Then you can select "download product" on the product page. You'll need the following parts: calypso cardan inner part calypso cardan middle part calypso cardan outer part 4x set screws ISO4027 (DIN914) M2,5x10 4x miniature ball bearing 1x3x1mm optional: 4x checknut M2,5 flat type ISO 4035 (DIN 439B)   and of course some tools: screw tap M2,5 and a tap wrench drill 2mm   hexnut
