Today we have two superstars - the Kossel Pro 3D Printer and the SketchBoard. Both are relatively new add-ons to the Solarbotics website. Initially created as a Kickstarter project and designed around the OpenBeam aluminum extrusion system, Kossel Pro is now available for purchase. It comes with a spool of 1.75mm PLA filament (random color) […]
Wot?!? New gear motors?
Dave Hrynkiw
October 31, 2008
Hey, how about that! We've got some new gear motors to complement the popular Mini Metal Gear Motors (the GM11a, GM12a, GM13a, GM14a, GM18 and yes, even the mutant GM19).
What's particularly new is that they have sealed cylindrical gearboxes! Same sort of gearing, but no funky rectangular shape - just a nice, sleek, clean enclosed gearbox. And these new motors aren't just sealed-versions of their brethren - they actually bring new performance characteristics to the party. Particularly torque. We're talking some finger-breaking torque in a tiny package (ok - if they don't break your finger, they'll cause considerable discomfort...). Sooo, your actuating-enjoyment, we present to you the:
GM20 - Sealed gear box, with performance between the GM11a and GM12a
GM21 - A longer, sealed gear motor, but a real torquemeister (yes, I said torquemeister), with over 100in*oz of torque @ 6V
GM22 - Another sealed gear motor, with more torque than a GM14. Good Turbot tumbling robot type motor!
We love little precision gear motors. They're just so cool...

New Gearmotor - the GM17
Hellooooo! I love getting new gearmotors to test. I get to break them apart, poke them, submit them to torture test - it's all great fun. My latest victim of inspection is our new GM17 HE Offset gearmotor. It uses a very power efficient 300-form factor motor to drive the 228:1 gearbox. It isn't a […]
Wednesday Cool Links: Light Stuff, Edibl...
As of early September the trees learned how to shed leaves. They were so graceful and efficient, that I start to wonder if they have an MFA in Shedding Leaves. Now, the question is - did they create this white stuff that now lies on the ground as well? Because if they did, they didn’t […]
