MakeCrank

Creating crank arms with precise dimensions using a leather cutter or 3D printer is now easier than ever with our specialized tool. This innovative solution allows you to calculate and generate both SVG (2D) and STL (3D) files tailored to your specific needs.

Our tool meticulously calculates the necessary dimensions based on your input, ensuring that you get a perfectly crafted crank arm. Not only can the generated data be viewed within the application, but it can also be seamlessly shared with other platforms for further use.

One of the standout features of our tool is its ability to automatically calculate the size of the balance weight. By inputting the outside diameter of the balance weight, the mass on the crank pin side, and the density of the crank arm, our tool will determine the ideal size of the weight to achieve perfect balance.

Parameters

• Crankshaft Diameter (mm): The diameter of the crankshaft where the arm will be attached.
• Crank Pin Diameter (mm): The diameter of the crank pin, which is crucial for the arm's functionality.
• Crank Arm Length (mm): The length of the crank arm, affecting the overall reach and leverage.
• Crank Arm Width (mm): The width of the crank arm, important for stability and strength.
• Balance Weight Radius (mm): The radius of the balance weight, essential for balancing the crank arm.
• Thickness (mm): The thickness of the crank arm, impacting its durability.

Once your data is generated, it can be displayed within the application and easily shared with connected 3D printers or PCs. For size comparison, the generated image includes an underlaying square the size of a credit card, ensuring you have a clear reference point.

What's New in the Latest Version 0.5
