kinda bummed out as Rottler is not making the gear i need for the boring bar anymore and i contacted one place they wanted $3500 for one i can buy a used bar for that in great condition i was thinking maybe having a 3D printed gear but not sure they have a material that can handle the load but the gear i have is not metal it is some sort of plastic i think with fiber in it it is brown in color so i am asking what do you think about 3D printing a new one is there good strong printing

If it is a plastic gear it is probably delrin or some other structural plastic.They make some amazing things with printers now but sorry I have no idea where to look. Good luck with it, following along as always. Missed the part about the colour might be made out of phenolic resin? Nylon is a popular plastic for gears too.

Really? After all the work you put into it? This was a massive project, and you've gotten further with it than most people who try things so dramatic!
Did you have some life situation changes? I hope it isn't a loss of motivation thing!

it has been a challenge to build this but it has burned me out and i am trying to get my house done and sold so i can move back to FL but i do not expect it to sell as that price is firm and i will not budge one penny as i have to much time and money in it to sell cheap [This message has been edited by engine man (edited 02-18-2020).]
