I hope you’re doing well! I have a couple of ideas for an auto disengaging lead screw nut that I’d like to share with you. Segmented Nut Design: This would involve the nut being split into 2 or 4 pieces, held together by a spring. When the screw hits a stop, a spreader cone would disengage the nut. Cone-Shaped Ramp Nut: In this idea, a cone-shaped ramp nut could be positioned at the end of the shaft or along it with a jam nut. A spring-loaded half nut would then roll up onto the ramp to disengage. I think both concepts could offer some interesting functionality. Let me know your thoughts, and if you’d like to chat further! Best, Dean
I'm pretty sure I got these files from the VEX robotics website. They provide CAD models for their parts and pieces. I might have just needed to tolerance the holes a little to get them working with the metal parts
Man I love this explanation. Straight to the point and we’ll said. Thank you
thank you for the videos! so educational

PPlease provide STL files for printing this ourselves?
