I would go with cycloidal gears, planetary gearboxes have lots of backlash when printed and I'm not sure how long a flex spline would hold up from a harmonic gearbox.
Yes, I considered cycloidal gears before but didn't pick them because of their complexity. Printability is also an essential factor. On the other hand, I am also curious about the lifetime of the flex spline. So, I'll build one first to test the accuracy and its lifetime.
Yes, it is a safer way to do it. Involving too many non-tested designs into the system is not a wise choice. So, I plan to have tests for the strain wave gearbox before implementing it into the system.

amazing vid, can't wait to see the end result, keep them comming!
Thank you. I'll try to build one for testing first.
awesome vid, and the song slapped
Thank you.

I don’t move mine. I think it get too complex. Se git or my YT
id stick with the tried and tru method of pullies before adventuring to more complex designs with custom parts
