I have a auto. coffee machine with a busted Gear & was wondering if it was
possible to replace the gear by 3D printing it.
It is a significant piece as it compresses the ground coffee with plunger
before hot water forced through.
with age/ over-use/misalignment? the teeth on the gears have broken off (as
it
is made of plastic )
Is it possible to make a solid gear able to withstand the above forces or is
the method of 3D printing (i.e built up droplets at a time) make it
structurally week, not as strong as "injection moulding"?
