..any updates of metal printed gears?
I’m interested / I’d wish to get one too. Thank you.
I have received mine from Shpaeways and the details are pretty good, I will upload the picture tonight. I have not tested it though, all of the printed plastic models i tried did not work as they get stuck and I have to find out why. I have tried the entire range of tension on the screws while assembling it but no good results so far. In the meanwhile I have a new extruder from CEL and that one works ok so far, have around 50 hours or so of print time already and its still holding. I will do a test maybe next week for you guys with the metallic gear and I will let you know about the results.
Cheers!
Great! How much did the part cost?
I (and I think many of us) don’t have SolidWorks.
I was tempted to buy it (the 400 EUR one, not the 8000 EUR one
) but I can’t stand that versions can’t open next years files, etc.. I’m even writing my own CAD and slicer anyway.I don’t know, personally I prefer/use mostly CSG type CADs, i.e. OpenSCAD and FreeCAD.
Hey there, the part was 8 dollars plus shipping. Sorry I did not upload the photo, was pretty busy. Will do it tonight.
plus 1 for OpenSCAD - I’m not using anything else for design work - but most of my stuff is not super curvy
