Build Guide

The ultimate printer I can recommend is the Bamboo Labs X1 carbon with AMS if you have deep pockets. ($1200). It's a massive leap forward in 3D printing, with excellent quality and impressive speeds. Its pretty much press print and go as the software and hardware do the calibration before each print. This printer will not manage the larger parts and you are going to need the CREALITY CR10 v3, which is my second choice of printer.

This design is primarily based around creating plastic drive gears. However, if you have the option to purchase metal bevel gears, this would be the more ideal solution. Why not give the 3D printed gears a go and see how you get on. This way there is no need to change the design for the time being. When messing the bevel gears you want to make sure the fit is tight to reduce any backlash in the system.

This design requires a print size of 220mm x 220mm.
