How do you adjust gaps in S3D or FlashPrint?? I don't see any settings labeled as such.
In the interim I am doing a workaround on this project. Just printing a quadrant of the ring gear and then will glue it to a bare ring of the needed diameter that will be printed separately. I took the full diameter ring and pinion unit and just truncated it to about 1/3. This is small enough that I can use the Qidi. Sort of like the blue example in the picture in first post.
I don't really need gear teeth for the full circumference anyway. This is going to be a micro adjuster for my espresso coffee grinder and it will only need to work in a fairly narrow range to fine tune the grind as coffee dries out over time or when I get a fresh load.Last edited by raylo32; 03-03-2020 at 07:11 AM.
