Well, I needed something to enter into the contest, and I came across Thorin Oakenshield's double gear spinner. I wanted more gears, so here is the quad gear spinner.
Print Settings:
Print 2 frames and 4 gears.
Layer height: Any (I used 0.2 mm)
Supports: No
Brim: If needed
Additional notes: This is scalable. I scaled down to 75% and it works great, just adjust "XY Compensation" (most slicers, e.g. OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer) or "Horizontal Expansion" (Cura) accordingly. I used -0.2 adjustment for 75% layer height.
General Troubleshooting
Problem | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
Gears not rotating | Unclean gear, seam line inside | Use an appropriately sized drill bit to smoothen out the inside, or add a small amount of lubricant |
Tight/loose assembly | Low tolerances, rough print lines | Adjust tolerances by scaling - if too tight/+ if too loose, sand down rough lines |
Parts warping/removing from bed | Dirty print surface, too little adhesion | Spread an even amount of glue stick on the bed, add a brim/raft |
Happy printing!
