Application Description

Crank Arm Design and Fabrication Tool

Are you looking to create custom crank arms with precision? Our innovative tool allows you to design crank arms of specified dimensions using either a leather cutter or a 3D printer. Here's how it works:

Key Features

Design and Calculate: Input your desired dimensions, and our tool calculates and generates SVG (2D) or STL (3D) files of the crank arm. This makes it easy to visualize and refine your design before production.
Automatic Balance Weight Calculation: The tool automatically calculates the size of the balance weight based on the outside diameter of the balance weight, the mass on the crank pin side, and the density of the crank arm material.
Material and Mass Calculation: From the given parameters, the tool calculates the size of the weight needed to achieve perfect balance.
Seamless Integration and Sharing: The generated data can be displayed and shared with other applications, making it easy to transfer your designs to 3D printers or PCs connected to them.

Parameters

Crankshaft Diameter (mm)
Crank Pin Diameter (mm)
Crank Arm Length (mm)
Crank Arm Width (mm)
Balance Weight Radius (mm)
Thickness (mm)

Visualization and Comparison

For a clear size comparison, the tool includes an underlaying square that represents the size of a credit card. This helps you gauge the dimensions of your crank arm design accurately.

What's New in Version 0.5

Last updated on Oct 9, 2022

Version 0.5: Added the ability to set a minimum density for balance weight calculations.
Version 0.4: Introduced parameter restrictions to ensure more accurate designs.
Version 0.3: Added support for D-cut designs and automatic calculation of balance weight size.
Version 0.2: Included support for balance weights and circular designs.
Version 0.1: Initial release.

With our tool, designing and fabricating custom crank arms has never been easier. Whether you're using a leather cutter or a 3D printer, you can achieve precise and balanced results every time.
