It would seem that possibly several Lathes are running 3dprinted gears.
Wondering how they have held up and what GOOD or BAD experiences can be shared.
I've ran a 56T 3dprinted (Screw gear on QC gear box) on my SB 10K for 5 months which means about only 100 hrs of use.
Some threading mostly for carriage feeding.
Plastic gear runs against 80T STEEL idler gear.
I find no visible wear and gear looks same as when installed.
What experiences have you had?
