cycloidal ball reducer

I couldn't find a 3d printed ball reducer so I finally figured out how to make one.

+s to open sketches and add ins. I use vs code to run it.

Main params should be edited. You can use this visualizer to play around with them for a preview https://github.com/Tomato1107/Cycloidal-Drive-Animation image

Running the script produces 3 sketches; balls, eccentric moving track , fixed track

sketch 1: the balls image

sketch 2: the moving eccentric disk

I used the center spline for the path for a sweep. this creates the ball track.

You also likely need to add a ball bearing cage like this:

it is pretty much impossible to operate without this
