Replacing the gear on an Aerodynic Rotating Lens Assembly

[timmy]

I have created a guide to replacing the gear on an Aerodynic Rotating Lens Assembly. I thought this would be easy until i got into actually doing it. If there are other methods to do this that work better let me know. Thanks.

Nice,
Good writeup!
I still have plenty of spares so I have not had to tackle this yet.

I think that they have found a use for the 3d printers, making replacement parts for items like those gears, I just wonder how long they will last after being made that way...
Thoughts?

They should last as long as the originals.. but the original plastics are different than what is used today.

That's what I mean the composition may not be as durable as the original, so I wonder how they will last and even if he puts white lithium grease to it.
