My application is for a honey extractor basket that spins like a centrifuge so the speed is relatively slow guessing a max of 400-500 rpm. Too high of speed blows out the honeycomb so I will have to experiment. One of the reasons for the gearing is to reduce the motor shaft speed for the extractor. The other reason is to change the angle of the motor shaft to lay it on its side. The motor is rated at 1700 but I also have a speed control for it.
This project has been on hold for something like this but I have new/different problems to figure out with the printer right now that I will post in another thread. I did order a sample of the Armadillo and I am anxious to try printing it.
