Application Description

This app designs crank arms to your specifications using a leather cutter or 3D printer. Input dimensions, and it generates 2D (SVG) or 3D (STL) models. The generated files are easily shared with other applications. The app automatically calculates the necessary balance weight size based on the balance weight's outer diameter, mass on the crank pin side, and crank arm density (g/cm³).

Features:

  • Generates SVG (2D) and STL (3D) files for crank arms.
  • Automatic balance weight size calculation.

This app is a lifesaver! The design process is incredibly intuitive and the generated files are perfect for my 3D printer. Highly recommended for anyone working with crank arms.

Aplicación útil para diseñar manivelas. Funciona bien, pero la interfaz podría ser más intuitiva.

Fonctionne, mais manque de fonctionnalités avancées. Bon pour des designs simples.
