Re: Tamiya bolt on reduction gear
Well, I guess the best way to find out if they are strong enough is to test them?
Yes FDM technology has weak points, but if this gear with all its faults is good enough for 1/14 truck, then I dont see a problem. I used the printer just to print the prototype, to see how it sits on the truck, and get correct dimensions I would later use on a mill. I didnt think it would be usable, as theory says that. But I was wrong. I also printed beadlock wheels for my 1/10 crawler, they also never failed, and I guess they were stressed even more. But yes, when I finish a metal version, I will compare them and do more testing.
