Default Re: Shovel mechanics

I think I've pretty much worked out the pulleys on each side of the boom tip that carry the cable down to the bucket... I'll 3D print them so if they wear fast I can just print more... But I need to print the pulley to mount to the boom and at the bucket, it will need to be in some sort of a housing or bracket ( not sure of the correct term) so the can swing freely ... I haven't worked out how I'll make the "bracket"... I'm sure it can be done but I just haven't figured out how I'm going to do it yet...
lol.. Yeah just teasers...I have some vast plans but just half vast ideas.....I don't build things fast... so I hate to say I'm going to build something then take 5 years to do it....lol
