Sounds like we can all help each other! Too cool! I'm several sorts of mechanic, no sort of expert at anything, but I have fun doing a bunch of stuff. I have, I think, already mentioned my 3d printing group, and there are a couple I'm a member of that might be of interest, too.
/g/digitalhobbyist is 3d printing, CNC, ELS of several flavors, and a good bunch of folks.
/g/E-Leadscrew is probably the original group for folk interested in a hobbyist electronic leadscrew system, and another bunch of good folks, with some overlap between them. John Dammeyer, the group owner, has an ELS system he designed and sells installed on his SB heavy 10L, though they talk about all sorts of ELS systems. He's working on a newer version of the old one taking advantage of newer processors and encoders and such like components. And it's all open source.

To answer the first question: I don't believe that the lathe is a junior. The second question is that dp is 18. I have already model the gears in cad and have ,stl files for making them. My experience in 3d printing has been for industrial usage.? I do not any experience with the hobby type 3d printers.? I am a retired engineer and have had experience with designing gears for different products in the pass. Thank you all for your help. For as being new to this forum, I am looking forward to learning form you all.
