Thank you, Mel Luckily, the gears are large enough and the teeth are not that fine. If the teeth were fine, that would be problematic for printing.

Louis Luu Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Geoff just mailed out the gears Tuesday. I should be receiving them soon. The first step is to clean them. Look at the teeth. From there, I will start the drawing process. Any threading will be done after the parts are threaded. Can someone post a chart for recommended tap size hole? I can't find this. I want to have the holes drawn and tapping will be straight forward without drilling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Luu Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 I just got the gears from Geoff. The teeth is pristine and I will be able to draw this. I thought the brass gears were going to be much bigger. Turns out the brass gears are really not that big so printing in brass is not going to be too expensive. The pot metal bevel gears is easy to do. I will need to do a thorough cleaning and measure. I think I might print one in all steel to see if there are noise issues. If there are no noise issue, I would rather do steel than brass for durability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
