Topic: Filawinder printed parts issue

Hi there! New to this forum, I've recently purchased the Filawinder and I'm trying to put it together. The thing is, I've tried several times printing the Drive Gear part, but have trouble putting it on the motor shaft, as the hole is too small. I've tried increasing the scale of the object to 1.01 and it seems a bit better but still not it. I could try going up to 1.02 but I'm wasting filament and the gear may become incompatible with the Spool Gear. Has anybody faced the same issue? Anything I could do?

Cheers!

Re: Filawinder printed parts issue

Your printer prints to correct dimensions and you get round holes normally? The gear should be a little snug fitting, but it will go on.

Might be easier to drill a hole to the correct diameter than changing the scale of the part?

Re: Filawinder printed parts issue

It sounds like your printer might be over extruding. The part is designed with a 6mm ID hole, and the shaft should be 6mm ID also.
