Drive trains are ways to transform mechanical motion from the stepper motors or DC motors into a precise movement of the desired part of the RepRap.
Some of the articles in this category focus on one specific part of a drive train -- an improved gear, pulley, or rack-and-pinion.
Other articles in this category describe the overall layout of a complete drive train, of which there are currently 3 major categories being developed by RepRap developers:
- serial Cartesian drive train (the first ones to successfully RepRap)
- serial polar drive train
- parallel drive train
(This is far from exhausting the theoretical space of all possible drive trains -- for example, there has been a brief discussion[1] of a parallel Cartesian drive train.[2], and the Columbus design has a partially parallel Cartesian drive train).
