Hello everyone,
well, this drive wheel really seems to be a hard nut, if one has a look at the next pictures of my friend Joe, who has diligently continued to model.

At least here it becomes clear how many sub-steps are obviously necessary to capture and model all these contours and ledges,





until finally this single sprocket is finished, which looks great.



But I think, that now not much is missing to make a suitable 3D printing set out of it. And that's why I've thought about the most favorable arrangement/orientation for printing and think that the sprockets could be arranged flat in a set consisting of two rows of nine wheels, whereby I would have two spare wheels.
Now I'm curious to see what will come out in the end and what such a Set of 18 in FUD will cost.
