Re: Gear reduction 3D printed bracket. #3D #GR


 

Eddie.

My mistake, I looked at the STL files you sent again in a different program.
What i was seeing on the screen was your STL files brought in with my Slic3r and of course
it includes all the preferences (settings) Print/Filament/Printer from the last job, Duh.Sorry for that.

I really like your gears, you certainly got this down to a fine art.
I will purchase some Nylon filament, any recommendations and does or dont?s? would be appreciated..

Have you thought about printing the H/L gears in the 7 x mini lathe, I swapped my originals out and replaced
with steel, they worked OK but were noisy. So I remade from Delrin bar stock , fly cut the teeth, much quieter but?
Nylon 3D print would be the best option and a good back up if I break a tooth.
A really fun job to print.
I could draw up and send the total dimensions of a stock set of mini lathe gears, spindle gear tooth count being 29 T 21 T?
layshaft being 12 T 19 T but i will check, if you could help create a STL file with the gear profile then I would print here once?
I get the nylon filament.
My CAD system is very limited as regards producing good gear tooth profiles.

Thanks

I always use a brim, but not attached to the model...a single outline or two on the first layer, 2mm or so away from the outline of the model. It primes the nozzle and it shows where the print will be on the bed, helpful when you are approaching the limits of your bed.

But the brim should not be part of those STL files, or not that I can see.
