The prompt
Create a precise parametric 3D CAD model of a GEAR-DRIVEN VARIABLE-DIHEDRAL WING MECHANISM for the AeroMorph-GD UAV. Create ONLY the mechanical gear mechanism. Do NOT create the wing. UNITS: millimetres (mm) MAIN COMPONENTS: 1. Gearbox housing - Length: 60 mm - Width: 50 mm - Height: 30 mm - Include mounting holes: 4 × Ø4.5 mm 2. Motor - Cylindrical BLDC motor - Diameter: Ø28 mm - Length: 30 mm - Motor shaft: Ø4 mm 3. Pinion gear - Preliminary pitch diameter: Ø10 mm - Gear ratio target: 4:1 - Pressure angle: 20° - Mount on Ø4 mm motor shaft 4. Main spur gear - Preliminary pitch diameter: Ø40 mm - Gear ratio: 4:1 - Bore: Ø6 mm - Mount rigidly to the output/hinge shaft - Pressure angle: 20° 5. Output shaft - Diameter: Ø6 mm - Length: 50 mm - Coaxial with the wing rotation axis 6. Hinge bracket - 50 × 50 × 5 mm - Central Ø6 mm shaft hole - Provide bearing seats 7. Bearings - Outer diameter: Ø25 mm - Width: 7 mm - Concentric with the Ø6 mm output shaft 8. Locking index plate - Radius: 30 mm - Thickness: 5 mm - Include locking holes at: 0° 10° 20° - Locking hole diameter: Ø5 mm 9. Locking pin - Diameter: Ø5 mm - Engagement length: 10 mm - Travel: 12 mm - Add spring: Ø8 mm outer diameter 20 mm length 10. Spar adapter - 40 × 35 × 3 mm - Hinge hole: Ø6 mm - Spar connection hole: Ø12 mm ASSEMBLY: Motor → Ø4 mm shaft → Ø10 mm pinion → Ø40 mm main gear → Ø6 mm output shaft → hinge axis → spar adapter. The main gear and output shaft must rotate together. The locking system must independently lock the mechanism at 0°, 10°, and 20°. Do not use the motor or gears as the primary locking element. IMPORTANT: - Keep all components as separate editable parts. - Apply realistic mechanical clearances. - Use concentric and coincident constraints. - Create proper gear tooth geometry. - If the Ø10/Ø40 dimensions cannot produce a manufacturable standard gear, flag it as PARAMETER TO BE VERIFIED rather than inventing dimensions. - Generate an assembled 3D model, exploded view, front view, side view and top view. - Add dimensions and part names to the 2D engineering drawing. - Design must be suitable for later FEA and prototype manufacturing.
