PART OF MY INDUSTRIAL GEARBOX COLLECTION
This is a fully 3D printable version of an industrial bevel gearbox / gear reducer. This cutaway version can be used for training purposes, and has a gear ratio of 1:1 (no reduction)
Bevel gears
A bevel gearbox is mostly used to redirect the motion of a shaft. You can find these gearboxes in most outboard motors, helicopters and in the differential of most cars.
No additional hardware needed!
UPDATE 7-16-2018
I`ve added a cap that can make the gearbox non-cutaway, see the green parts in the fourth picture. When you want the gearbox to be non-cutaway, you have to print the 2 files named with NON-CUTAWAY.

The clearances of this model are between 0.2 - 0.4 mm (0.008 – 0.016 inch). You might need to drill out the holes for the axles (9 mm), or sand some of the parts to make them fit.
