Still W-I-P. Sharing because comments on the original asked for some of these improvements, and because several things changed from Quintox303's desig...n:
Added the D
Pins/holes to locate the letters accurately.
Two-part base for printing on smaller beds
Improved E- and S-gear axles
Updated but not yet printed by me (7 Feb):
Improve the E- and S-gear axles more... they're still weak.
Chamfer bottom of D, E and S and top of C, L, and R main gear
Still to do:
Thicken E- S- and sun-gears
Add small bearing surfaces to base to lift gears off base for reduced friction
Move main axles slightly (3-4mm?) closer together to reduce play
Stops to stop rotation when in correct alignment.
Increase base size behind the D
Increase height of main axles
3d model print parameters
