After Vcarve, I sent it over to Shapr3D to give it dimension. Then finally over to Prusa Slicer for Gcode. Next time hopefully tomorrow (off a few days from work) I will start with laser prototype first because with wood I will have it cut in minutes to see if it works. From there I can go to a stronger medium. Eric Gantner On Sun, Feb 5, 2023 at 6:38 PM 'Curt George' via Legacy Ornamental Mills <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: Eric. I will be able to play with the laser late next week. if all goes well I can post the programs to you. I have not tried making the drive gears before. should be fun. ;-) By the way, was your gear 3D printed or laser cut? C.A.G.

While it was printing it I decided to measure the one I had, that is when I realized it’s a 5/16 square in the center of the gear. Thanks for the info on the gear gadget also, I had to download it.

The program was a 60 tooth gear, you could almost by-pass the directional gear set all together with that large gear on the acmes screw. I like the red COLOR, it matches Legacy's color theme. ;-) C.A.G.

I did make a gear using the file Curt sent me, fyi the square hole is 5/16 not ¼. I think it’s a great starting point. Thanks Curt! I need to resize it to fit the drive gears, but its fun.

If not as I mentioned we have a guy right here in our state that is willing to make gears. They have a metal laser cutting machine. Kind Regards, Timothy J.

Bill. I was told (second hand info.) But form a person who I trust 100%. He told me that, Legacy was NO Longer going to make the gears for the older manual machines. So as far as I can see it. Its up to us now. If we want parts we will have to make them our self's now. More on this topic latter. Have a good day. C.A.G.

I have been playing around with plastic gearing for the Legacy. But I have been looking at the other end of the gear linkage. The drive gears are much smaller tooth design, I see no real reason why they too can not be made out of plastic's? In the past, we have had a few people cut out gears for the group on a laser, out of metal. (but sadly these people no longer have access to the equipment, do this any more.) I have DFX files for the gears that I have been making to match up with Legacy's indexing gears, If you like I can forward those to you, or If you like I can do some more trial and error and see if I can make these drive gear first, To see how they work. Its up to you. I am in the process of making a new attachment for the Legacy, I am cutting out gears out of Plexiglas and Acrylic for this attachment. So it really isn't that big of a deal for my to add a 1/4" square in the middle of the gear, For me the biggest factor is trying to find the correct size of gear to make the pitches you need. I use V carve for my programing and then make CRV file into DFX for cutting on the laser. Here are two files to see if you can do something with them. If they work for you, I have no problems sending them to the group. Have a good day. C.A.G.

I think I am almost done putting my 900 together with a Z-axis carriage. My machine only came with drive gears F &G, is this something I need to start working on now or can it wait. I think I can make them once I understand how they work, I have no background in this sort of thing. What I do have is a is a laser engraver-cutter, 3D printer, and a CNC that can mill aluminum. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If you feel the Derlin on my split nut, it feels the same as the Acetron, If I get a chance I will also use the UHMW. It is easer for me to find, (but I have not priced it $$$ wise in many years.)
