HP97 printer gear replacement

[wbvreeuwijk]

Hi Mark,

I recently 3D-printed a few of these gears and they seem to work ok. (the top ones are what was left of the original gears :-) )

Also, I get “error” when I attempt to insert a card, and the card reader seems to not engage the motor. I need to troubleshoot this more. I am guesding it sees the card, but fails to start motor. Will need to nose around with svope.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Mark
