RE: HP 46/81 idler gear
Rick/Tony:

I'm glad you made your posts. My using sacrificial is probably not the best. I, indeed, meant sacrificial in terms of wear. i.e. obviously the gear on the print drum and drive gear on the motor shaft are way more difficult to replace than the idler gear. Hence, make the easiest gear to replace take the brunt of the wear.

Maybe metal isn't of any significance in terms of wear. If I knew the softness of the drum gear I'd probably want an idler gear from material known to be softer. But we all want things, especially when the less important it is the more you want it. ..... think they call that a "habit".... a calculator habit. :/

Rick:

Yes, if you have a printed PLA 46/81 gear or two I could try, I'd be happy to take them. If you're interested let me know & I'll PM you my address.

I don't sell things, but have traded things. Now that you have a 97 would you be interested in some 97 blank cards in return?
