Do you use 3d printed mounts?

Small amounts of deflection can screw up your gear mesh and lead to a number of different failure modes.

This was not printed on a custom printer, it was printed on a Markforged Mark Two printer: https://markforged.com/product/mark-...fessional-kit/

The print took a bit under 3 hours to complete.

That's really quite impressive. Any reason why the part looks to have such a low resolution? Do you need flat edges to better adhere the carbon fibers wrapped around the first four layers?
