Thread: Printing clock wheels...?
22/04/2020 16:24:35

Hi Tony. I have been producing lots of gears of various types on my home built Prusa type 3d printer and have posted a design hint on Thingiverse that might help you produce better gears. Go to the Thingiverse site and search for "Better 3D Printed Gears" by Danthelad. Instead of making a file with the gear as a parallel sided model (top and bottom) try to put a taper from the base of the teeth to the top of the teeth of about 3 to 5 degrees so that this area is not printed directly from the print plate but is built up gradually. This leaves the tooth area clear of the printing base and does not cause the "Elephants Foot" problem.

Hope this helps,

Danny.
