they are NOT 3d printer. They are plastic though(nylon?)they are actually very common garage door opener gear sets you can buy at sears. Though they are twice as cheap online. In fact, andymark uses the exact same set(but they hex broach theirs) on one of their 90 degree transmissions. We used two sets last year to drive our elevator mechanism and they held up just fine.
As far as specs/how it was made take a look at the CAD files.
