Intended to be printed with a single wall .7mm thick, no infill, no solid layers. Because the model is of the negative space, you can adjust the tolerance between the gears by adjusting the extrusion width.In addition to configuring the extrusion width, wall thickness, infill and solid layers, you will need to make sure that your slicer always retracts when crossing internal spaces. I was not able to make the work with Cura, but Slic3r can be configured to do it by unchecking "Only retract when crossing perimeters". You will also need to make sure that you are not using wider extrusions for the first layer, which will make the gears stick together.
Hi I'm new to all this.
I've got a Anet A8 clone, haha.
And I'm using cura 2.4, but I can't get the setting correct.
Anyone here know what settings I should be using in Cura?
Thank you.

I've seen your work on YouMagine. they are very interesting. can put on my project elements3d.net. ? they learn more people and it's fun.
good luck in your business!

<p>Line 48 starts with <i>for(x = [0:1], y = [1:-1]) </i><i></i></p><p><i></i>Change that to <i>for(x = [0], y = [0]) </i>to just print one.</p>

Hi and thanks for this cool remix :)
Is there any way to change the code so that it makes only one gear ? It would be nice for testruns :)

Hey thanks! I love this fun little gear model. Great quickie design. Been looking for it for awhile. Thanks again!!!

Something about slightly older version of OpenSCAD. Tried it at home, OpenSCAD 2014.03, and it had the bevels.

<p>I used rotate_extrude() to create a toroid shape and intersection() to form the gears to it.</p>

The scad seems to generate the typical helical gear. It seems like your design has a clever feature where the planets shrink at the top and bottom, making them capture better. How did you do that? I am wanting to edit some parameters to work better on my machine.
