Armortek

Hello
We all get the same boxes so I'll spare you that. I thought I'd start where I thought I could do something different from the standard build.
Anything I do as changes from the standard model we all receive is entirely my responsibility,no one is obligated and I am not urging anyone to make changes,some modifications require additional knowledge without which you may damage parts which are 100 percent usable, who is not sure of his actions, it is better to stick to the instructions of the Armortek

I will start with SPROCKET ASSEMBLY. I will add two details to stop the axial movement of the axle with the gear
Тhe sequence of the photos shows the order of manufacture





















Тhe video shows the end result

Excellent engineering Stanislav, the pictures are brilliant too, looks a very robust system.

Thanks John
Мy build will be slow because I'm limited by time but I hope it will be interesting and useful for others

Hello
A little free time and here is the result. New RUBBER STOP. In the pictures is the prototyping process then the molds and then the final result






Armortek and my

Did you recast the rubber bump stop or machine a larger one to size?

John
a completely new detail,it is slightly larger and with a different shape that comes as close as possible to the original

Hello guys
A few photos from the working moments. The first few photos are of the part that will make the connection between the clevis and the recoil mechanism

Turning, drilling and turning again, then thread threading










Test whether everything is ok with the thread - Perfect



Next is the making of holes on the part and then cutting the thread

I had to put to lathe machine and drill the gear to fit the original details , the picture shows before and after





Аgain, creating an axle to match the original kit parts and of course the new gear



Мaking a keyway will be a real challenge for me I'll leave it for now until I decide how

So there was little time left today to make the keyway



I made a few samples of the assembly





I also made a tension roller for the belt,I haven't decided yet what kind of motor I'm going to use but the roller is a roller with two bearings

One more thing I want to change for more detail like the original

the first photo shows the original, and the following are the stages of my attempts to recreate it

Hello guys
Because the material I have is of a size in which I can mill one detail on both sides,but it is not enough to cut it into two pieces first, so it turned out like this from the picture



then separate the two parts from the main block



next comes cleaning the details and entering the correct size, another threaded hole and finally the final detail

Here is the final result




Мoving forward with the next detail , I just tried but the direction is this

Hello
My daughter pointed out to me that I had missed an obvious detail and I had to redo the detail ,on the left is before and on the right is after
