Our workspace burnt down...
A lithium battery was left charging and caused a fire in our workspace destroying our tools and the REVR v2 motor prototype. Half the neighbourhood got woken up at 2am by the sound of lipo cells exploding and the firefighters.
Our Bambu lab p1p sent a final message just before the fire destroyed it:(. This has set us back a little, we are just working out what is insured. If you'd like to speed up REVR i've added a paypal link->>
100% of this goes to materials and equipment.

REVR V2 produces 300Nm torque!
After doing some initial tests with sensorless control we got hall effect sensors working on the motor. Motor was able to pickup a large weight over a 2m span producing just shy of 300NM at 280A. This was with a quite large airgap to account for manufacturing issues. With the original design airgap of 1.5mm the motor should produce double the torque. Weight of this prototype was 15KG, up next will be <12kg.
