Description

This is a set of gears for a Wade's Extruder thingiverse.com/thing:1794. The small gear is based on Nophead's grub screw version thingiverse.com/thing:2521.

I made these because I was having trouble slicing the old versions with RepSnapper (it can be very picky). These versions also allow changing the ratio or other features of the gear more easily as they are modeled in OpenSCAD.

I am using Vik's mendel_misc.inc found here thingiverse.com/thing:2192

Instructions

Print and enjoy. If you want to change gear ratios, add lightening holes, etc... modify the script per GregFrost's directions on the original thing.

Thanks for your files!!!

Hey, nice to see people still mashing up those extruder gears. Share and Enjoy! :)

Nice. I just printed wades version last week. I like your addition of the set screw. You should perhaps have "use"ed the parametric involute gear script in the same way as vik's mendel include. That would have highlighted how someone else might use the gear script for their own purposes (without having to hack the script itself).

I originally planned to make it a separate file but tested in a copy of your script. Then when I uploaded it I never changed it from what I had tested with.

I have now updated it as you suggested. It is better that way and was a very simple change as all I was doing was calling your modules anyway. :)

Thanks for the suggestion. And a HUGE thanks for the original script! :) :) :) :)
