Printing gears on a Cubex printer
Posted: Tue Jul 16, 2013 3:02 am
I'm attempting to print a planetary gear system
The wheel is about 1.8 inches with 30 teeth, the 5 inner gears are all 10 teeth.
When the printer prints the gears with a resolution of .25mm, the gears are thicker than the design.
They end up not meshing because of the resolution capabilities of the printer.
What is the best way to tweak the teeth to account for the printer adding thickness?
