Topic: Precise Gears / Cogs Possible?

I'm in the process of waiting for my Da Vinci to turn up.

I've attached a STL file... do you think this is possible with the da vinci?

How precise are you looking for? People have long used FFF printers with less resolution than the DaV to print extruder gears.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!
Anycubic 4MAX best $225 ever invested.
Voxelabs Proxima SLA. 6 inch 2k Mono LCD.
Anycubic Predator, massive Delta machine. 450 x 370 print envelope.

Re: Precise Gears / Cogs Possible?

Well I'm not sure! As long as they fit my existing gearing (which is plastic), it can be 'good enough' smile I know I'm not going to get injected mod finish, just hope the teeth are nicely spaced and within spec.

The STL attached is to scale, I've downloaded the model into XYZWare and it looks okay rendered, but just wondered if I was asking too much. (as some stuff I've seen printed by the DaVinci looks awful, yet some stuff looks lovely!
