Upgrading xBlinds with planetary gearbox https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3642542/
Double gearbox can pullup 5kg watertank and my blinds 2m*1,4m.
To open/close 1,25 m height blinds it take about 15 minutes. :)
How to use:
1.place sun gear on drive.
2.assembly electronics
3.close cover and fix it.
4.add gearbox on its place and fix it.
Next steps for big blinds
5.Fully open blinds (roll it up completely).
6.Put cord on gear in crossover/reverse way (rolling down much easy for device than pilling up).
7.In xBlinds - Setup - Experimental assing 65535 per Step Size
8.In Setup press Save as Closed and reset
9.Press + Adjust position till your Normal Closed position and save it with Save sa normal Open
Add + some more till you get fully closed position and save it with Save as Full Open (you may need to decrease Step Size value).
Remove cord from gear, manually fully open Blinds and attach cord to gear in normal position.
Normal pulley works good, but in my case cord length is not enough to fully close blinds (connector hits gear), so I've made a gear with less teeth (checked -works fine).
Added more compact gearbox.
P.S. As for my printer with 0.6 nozzle all gears parts was printed with 95% flow rate to work good. At 100% it can work in 1 gearbox, it add second - it jams and it is really hard to rotate.
