Re: Missing Feed Gear Bolt
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýOnly way to know for sure is to try it. But I think it will work well. Or at least well enough. The gears and bushings are zamac, not the toughest alloy around. ABS is pretty tough. 3d-printed parts of ABS aren't as tough as injection-molded ABS, but Mr. Pete222 was using 3d-printed gears. The ones with high infill did well in his tests. Bushings aren't going to be stressed as much as the teeth of a gear, or so I believe.? Only one way to truly know, of course. Bill in OKC?

I think it is definitely hard enough using the right material but how is the abrasion resistance and how will it handle the nasty gear train environment. -Jody |
