Re: Experience with 3D Printed Gears

Although I haven't tried this on an FRC bot but one application could be for rotating a turret.

If you had a fairly long Face Width on the gears with a good ABS plastic you will probably be okay. If you wanted just a limited range on the turret you could just print out part of the large gear to drive the turret (90 degrees or something).
