Gear backing
thingiverse
So I was motivated by this project alongside http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:221278. I adapted zheng3's design, http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:185155, printed it at double the size in two dimensions (but only full scale z-axis) and created a single large gear along with three of the small gears. I proceeded to design a triple-pointed base plate and caps to cover each side of the magnets from view.\nI have uploaded the backing and caps; if you intend to combine them with zheng3's project be sure to print them at one-half size. \nI am working on this project using a Printrbot Simple Metal, utilizing black PLA material. \nNo supports are required; fill density is entirely up to personal preference. \nYou can see the complete project details here on my Hackaday.io project page: https://hackaday.io/project/9137-lapel-gears
