One way to link the equation for Twist Value to your equations is to enter a dummy value while creating the sweep feature and then to edit the dimension in the graphics area by double clicking the feature. That will bring up the normal dimension editing window which accepts equations. Alternatively, I believe you can type the dimension name into the Equations dialog. In my case this was "D4@Sweep1" Thanks for the tutorial. Found a lot of tutorials that didn't include Involute, or used poor modeling practices. This was really well done.
This is great content! Thanks for including the equations in the description in addition to the file link. I can't tell you how many times I've gone to get a critical file for a tutorial and it's a dead link. For the raft, as long as you have good surface adhesion, you can always specify an elephant foot offset in all slicers. In Orca, you can even specify a number of layers to adjust for it. Just a thought, if you do run into an application where your bottom surface needs to be aesthetically pleasing.
out of interest, you mentioned adhesive for the hub, but didn't mention what you use - I was not sure what you think works best on the metal-to-3dprinted piece ?
3M DP420 is my go-to adhesive of choice for this application. It is rated for metal to plastic bonding. Also commonly used in composites. It's good stuff. Of course, expensive though.
i've been looking for a tutorial like this for so long i had given up on the project, thank you so much
Glad to help!

Funny you should mention that because currently my web site is broken and I haven't had a chance to fix it!

@@designbydave ah cool - and of course, unobtanium in Australia :)
