Making a custom tricycle differential

Some time ago I completed a differential for a tricycle which is intended for the Uturn - my unique rear suspension tilting tricycle.
I had at my disposal many kinds of bevel gears of different sizes and applications. Either from outboard engines, nor from angle wheels and more. At the same time I tried many variations for planetary shell, materials from steel or aluminum as well. A first test of the design and dimensions of the differential was made on the 3D printer with PLA.
After many tests, you see my first differential ready to go on the road! It can transfer, without any friction, the power of the cyclist to one or both wheels with excellent traction, depending on where it is located. I am very pleased with the result and I look forward to combining it with a mid-drive system as it will be in the final tricycle for which it is intended - the Uturn.

Available are the blueprints in Rhino 5 as well as the differential integrated in three variants. With disc brake and freewheel mount, with fixed gear and freewheel mount only, depending on the needs of each application that interests you.
