Replacement gear for L.L. Bean mini crank 3 LED flashlight

pinshape

I own several L.L. Bean mini-crank 3 LED flashlights because I despise using disposable batteries. One broke a few years ago and I could no longer wind the crank to charge it. After taking it apart, I found that the center gear had some teeth broken off. I figured I could fix it somehow and put it away for another day. Years later, I got my 3D printer and thought now was my chance. I took measurements off the broken gear using the gear add-on in Blender. The outer teeth came out perfect but the inner teeth didn't quite come out right due to their small size. I made a few adjustments and finally got a gear that worked smoothly after about three tries. I fixed it! Amazingly, one of the other flashlights broke in the same way after about a month. I simply got the STL file from before and printed out another new gear. My printer brand is FlashForge and my printer model is Creator Pro. I don't use rafts or supports. I set my infill to 100% for this print. The small size of the teeth on the inner gear made it difficult to get them right due to my printer's resolution. I just made them larger and longer until what came out worked. I designed this using Blender's gear add-on. I was able to get the necessary measurements off the damaged gear.
