Looking for (idler?) gear wheel of HP-46 printer unit

[Sadsilence]

Hello Duane,

I cannot thank you enough for your detailed explanations and all the time spended for that. Out of it I learned more about gears than 40 years before. Not the least simply from learning right english vocabulary. Coming from electronics side I have not been able to find right entry point in this secret gears thing.

From your (and dalmator's) in depth descriptions (HP-46 definitely has a 17/68 double gear with mentioned dimensions, there is a C-Clip, too) I agree with you, it is the same construction like in your printer. Will give some feedback. Likely will be a few weeks before I find time.

Last Friday I talked to a friend. She is CAD specialist and is going to create a 3D model of that double gear. Moreover she is pretty confident, that it is suitable for modern 3D printing. So maybe there is even a chance to get a one piece solution.

Thanks again and best regards,

Werner
