3D printer, "getting the gears turning" to new projects

This is a nylon printed gear, it gave me a ton of problems.  I the first layers were not sticking to the bed and it kept tearing up along the edges.  After many tests and many fails the printer finally cooperated and gave me two gears that were almost perfect to size.  I need to do a bit of scaling and viola! (wish it was that easy) 

This gear goes to a small lathe and works as a sheer point. 3d printers are so nice to have, when small plastic things break they will save you almost every time, and the Nylon is amazingly strong!  There are several types of materials to print from, everything from soft and pliable to hard and dense. You can even printed homemade recycled plastics from old bottles or milk jugs. 

Thanks for all of the support! Follow me @  https://steemit.com/@bobarker if you enjoyed the video : ) 

Steem it up!
