We put the gear on a flat surface, and saw a very tiny space between the gear teeth and the ground. So while the gear doesn't have a large chamfer, it may have a small one. Using a very thin pan worked for us, but sometimes it does get jammed so alternatives are welcome.

How do the gears go in then? Is the whole thing tilted downwards?
