Prototype 2:
After constructing and testing Prototype 1 a new redesigned pump was sketched. The new design's aim was to reduce the limitations and inefficiencies of the first prototype.
This was done through the following Features:
- Reduce diameter of rotors to reduce the torque required by motor.
- Reduce overall height of casing to reduce material required and printing time.
- Reduce thickness of rotors to reduce weight.
- Increase motor cut tolerance to ease assembly.
- Reduce raceway diameter to fit smaller tubing.
Below are some CAD sketches for the new design:
