A1:

  • Look at Lily bearings (https://www.lily-bearing.com/)

  • Look at silverthin or cadon bearings

  • Thin Section bearings

  • X contact bearings

  • Either use 2 angular contact bearings

  • Switch standoffs for OTS

A2:

  • Add more meat to the connection between the pulley and the joint (bolts in new holes in the poulley)

  • Look at the joint again

  • Reduce the length of the shaft, reposition the bearings

A3 and A4:

A5 and A6:

  •  Overall review design of joints

  • Tap into plate for encoder

  • Build the gearbox without the inner ridge first, then see if you need the ridge
