    I printed an ABS powerwheels gear out for a friend to test the fit. 100% infill, tt was chonky, was going to get it redone in nylon.

    it fit and was ripped to shreds in 30 seconds :)

        Have you seen the prices on the non-Euclidean filament these days? Only Voidstar labs can afford that shit.

      FYI: Plastic Welding is a thing that exists. Use it literally all the time to fix what my kids break.

      Power Wheel Wheel included. Takes literally seconds to fix a crack

        Gear D was what broke, it delivers the full thrust to the final axel and take most of the force when the wheel take a hit. there’s no welding that
