Update 2020-Feb-09: Want to make something cool? Have a look at my SpiderBot :)
Update 2019-07-21 extended the post print description section.
After all the updates to my Anycubic I3 Mega-S printer I'm now able to print this at 100% size!
Updates on Printer were: TMC2208 Steppers, Marlin 1.1.9 Firmware, new part cooling.
Important parameter for print quality is "Outer walls before Inner walls"
Update 2019-05-06: have a look at the Remix for 5 gears (to do motor cycling games) https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3609281
Update 2019-04-26: have a look at the Remix for keychain: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3584811
pdate 2019-04-22: added singulated disassembled V7 version. see description below.
Update 2019-04-16: added Print-in-Place HighRes V8E. Successfully tested on Silver ABS from Inofil3D. see comments on used settings.
In case the vertical gears are a little bit too tight (when using ABS) you could put one drop Nail Polish Remover on each Holder-Side and rotate until it's free, Then wash it out using Water. I then used Silicon Oil and it turns freely. V8E has 1mm less distance between big gears and changed the Gear-Twist to be in line with outer gear. Vertical gear moved further to the outside on that design.
Update2019-03-29: added new Print-In-Place HighRes files V7C, successfully tested on Dark-Gold PLA from ICE (assumed worst case)
Used following settings 0.6mm nozzle, 0.15mm layer height, adaptive layers (max Var 0.1, step size 0.01), concentric support, 20% infill, 60% Skin Overlap Percentage, 25mm/s outer wall speed, Print Acceleration 300mm/s², 40s min Layer Time, 100% Fan cooling, Support Overhang angle 85°, 30% Support.
If you really really like the design, use the tip the designer button ;)
After trying several versions, I have two main versions:
Print-In-Place:
Use V8E version. it has gears better to print plus optimized Holder.
Singulated:
Use V7_Singulated.zip in case your Printer doesn't manage the Print-In-Place.
Post a make or leave a note if you like this design!
My first version of me was adding Balls.
Now I added a gear instead, as I mostly played with the "hole fillers"
I wanted them to revolve the gears and finally rotate the other ball.
Be careful not to break off the Holders when blocking the gear (to see how strong they are). Sneak-Preview: NOT that strong.
