Small Gear Teeth Chipping Off

Scale the parts???

Really? If Lulzbot printed them with ABS, and I’m printing with ABS won’t they basically be the same size without scaling?
Or did Lulzbot scale them? Which wouldn’t make sense to not incorporate into the stl file for users if they did.

Dammit…I’m printing two small gears as I type this. Straight from the file.

I’ll be sure to put some calipers on the parts and on the “original” to see what’s what.

After I get the small gear replaced, I’ll print the larger one.

Well I’ve put together a geneva case for iphone geneva mechanism for iPhone 4/4s

At the first try, the gears couldn’t fit, because the holes were to close, thus too tight on the gears
everything started to fit when I scaled the parts 1% in Slic3r

So my guess is that the large and the small gear could also be scaled 1% up and it could be much easier to install them without any backslash
When I have tried this I will inform of the results

cheers
