It looks wonderful! You might want to take some scotchbrite to the module so it displays better.
Why gears to turn the module over chain or belts?
The herringbone gears are 3d printed in gray plastic. Very hard to machine, very easy to print. You see them a lot on 3d printer extruder designs.

Our pyramid climber had so much chain we kind swore off chains. The memories of hunting for fallen master link clips is fading slowly.
