Re: Experience with 3D Printed Gears

In our experience with 3d printed gears, they will for the most part work fine. You can't substitute a metal load bearing gear with one that has been 3d printed. It will work for a little bit then start stripping teeth after repeated use. We have a makerbot 2 and standard plastic abs plastic.
