If you have enough money, only a few hours! Really -- 3D-Services, former sponsor of Team #1, will burn you a gear by close of business if you get them the file that morning -- assuming you have $200 to $300 to waste (By the way, I have NEVER done this for FIRST, only for my day job of making show cars to sell stuff to OEM's)

For those with less than unlimited budgets, my typical wire burn sources (for example Louis Oudin at Capital Die 248.542.9200 or e-mail him CapDieTHE-AT-SYMBOLaol.com*) give parts in 3 days without breaking a sweat or charging me premium prices. Typical prices $50-$150 for an 1/8 thick aluminum sprocket depending on the size. $50-$100 for typical 1/4 thick steel or aluminum gears (webbing extra) again, depending on size.

By the way, if you don't have a wire EDM source in your neck of the woods, Lou takes credit cards, loves FIRST, and will work you from long distance. You can do worse than work with Capital Die (no kickbacks or bribes were paid for this testimonial, though I DO have an open slot in my lunch schedule next week Lou... ;-)

*sorry for the obfuscation but I didn't want to have some e-mail snatching, web crawling slime bot getting Lou on its spam mail list.
