Michael,
I reamed the ID of the gears to exactly one inch on Monday... and got a good finish.
Last night I cut the 1/4" wide x 1/8" deep key-ways in all the gears.
This morning I finally got them in the mail to you!

Unfortunately, I did NOT get any photos..... but it really did happen!
Hopefully soon you will see for yourself.

You requested a shipping time estimate, but they would not give one without upgrading to shipping method with tracking, and the cheapest of those was almost CAD $200! So nope no time estimate.

It's been six weeks since you posted them to me.......still waiting for the postman.
 
Your emojis shows my feelings exactly. I don't understand why it must take so long. I realy hope it didn't fall of tge boat:oops:

:laughing:

I must just do the waiting game a bit more.
 
Nooo!
It would be crushing if they got lost in shipment!?! :cry:
 
Hi @brino

So after 7 very long weeks,the family finaly arrived. It looks like I did the math right,because they mesh with their South African relatives :big grin: .

I would have liked it if the printed gears meshed a bit deeper with eachother, but I guess there is nothing that can be done about that. Did you also notice that when you had them? Don't think it will be a problem though.

O I went with hardening the bushing and pins that I made. I sent them for heat treatment along with these pins I made for a customer.

I just heat blued the gear mounts and washers with a torch and oil.

Brian once again thank you very much for printing these for me,I realy appreciate it. I will mount everything on the mill as soon as I get a chance and take pics. My gear cutter for making the gear this is all for,also arrived today ebay,so that project will also be posted as soon as I get to it.

Thanks @brino and @Mill Lee farm for your help.

Everything looks very good!
Looking forward to the 'in operation' pictures and VIDEOS! lol

No I did NOT notice that... but maybe I was not inspecting them as closely as you have...


You project is coming together beautifully.

I am looking forward to your gear-cutting success!

Hi Brian. You can see in the pictures below what I meant by the mesh not being very deep. But as I said before,I am not going to worry about that now. I don't think it will be a problem at the low turning speed it wil be going. Please don't take it wrong,I am not complaining at all,I am just mentioning the next point for your information. I also noticed that the gears does not seat flat or perpendicular(don't know if this is the right word) ontop of eachother when meshing. It's like they are not maligned perfectly. I am saying this because I don't know if there is a setting or something that you can adjust for say future projects? I hope you understand what I am trying to say.

Well I can't wait to try it out and post the results.

Thanks again.
