Re: 1325's First 3D Printed Gear!
Oh, and regarding material: PLA and ABS is generally the most common but you can also print in nylon. This is good for timing belts since it's bendable:

I haven't tried the Makerbot "Flexible PLA" yet, but I'm looking forward to testing it out!
Then there's always LAYWOOD, which apparently smells and looks like wood:
