<div>Ian,</div><div>Good you included a picture, the large gear is not secured to the shaft. The shaft turns freely through the gear. The gear is bolted to the hand, if you print the gear with small holes (1\4 inch) instead of large, I can use those holes to mount it, maybe the holes should be beefed up a bit. Thanks again</div><div>Hank</div><div><br></div>

<div>Ian,</div><div>Thank you, if you want to print some then I can just keep building and allow for the size. The shaft for the big gear is 5\8 and the shaft for the small gear is 1\4 inch. I do not have a weight budget, just keeping at light as I can. The nice thing with plastic is the low density. In a perfect world the the large gear would be 3 inch dia and the small gear would be 1 inch.</div><div>The thickness can be 1\2 inch giving it some extra strength.
