Re: Experience with 3D Printed Gears

3641 tested 3D printed gears last year in a prototype. We found that they work great for low stress situations and they are very effective in those situations because of how customize able they are. In high stress situations, I don't recommend using them because they are much less strong than metal obviously.

The real problem with computers is that they do what you tell them to do, not what you want them to do.
