The drive horns go through both sides of the gearbox.
The potentiometer is mounted to the gearbox indirectly using an involute gear.

Instructions
Requires 2x 30mm bearings (SKF 62062RS 30x42x7mm)
All parts can be printed at 0.3mm EXCEPT the gearboxscrew.stl
1) print
2) assemble
slice gearboxscrew.stl at 0.2mm or less. Print very slowly with a fan as this has lots of steep angles
Servo modification:
You will need to take the servo apart and modify it to allow continuous rotation
* unscrew servo
* remove motor board
* remove potentiometer screw and potentiometer
* under the main gear on top, remove the white plastic piece that the pot was pushed into.
* Saw/cut the pillar of the main servo horn head
Assembly:
All parts should go togther as per the exploded diagram.
Once assembled, push the potentiometer through the hole in part "bottom plate pot holder"
attach with a screw
Special Mention:
Although this gearbox was designed independatly of hairygael's "inmoov" hearbox design, there was a heavy dose of inspiration from the "inmoov" design. Once I saw that design, mine chaged slightly.
