Ribbon Corrugator –
In traversing the web, I learned that corrugations of 20 or so per inch were optimal. I tried
to 3D print some gears to that specification, but the teeth are just too fine for my 3D printer (a friend’s got an
SLA, I might hit him up). And again hitting the Internet and various Ribbon Mic sites, I came across a very simple
arts and craft corrugator, which works perfectly. I of course wanted to 3D print some fancy contraption for it,
but the simple device works just fine.
3D Printed Ribbon Motor Mounting Bracket –
Again, my biggest motivation here was to create a means to
allow the Ribbon Motor to be easily removed to be re-ribboned. This is what I ended up with. This is a little
recess in the bottom so the copper strip has room, and little channels in the back, so you can press fit the
positive wires in place.
