        <title>durability &amp;amp; strength of parts printed</title>
        <description> I was thinking of printing replacement parts for gears that broke in a commercial document shredder using reprap
the gears that broke appear to be plastic/nylon; large and white

Can anyone demonstrate the durability &amp;amp; strength of the parts that they have made</description>

            <description><![CDATA[ The only materials we are comfortable printing with right now are ABS and PLA. I'm not entirely sure of the scale of the drawing, but it would probably work for a while. Did the original gears wear out or did some object (like a paperclip) go through the shredder and strip the gears?]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ If it had small teeth the infill will also likely not fill them out so it will not be very strong. Very dependent on the printer/part though.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Be aware that ABS or PLA printed gears won't have the wear resistance of Nylon or Delrin gears, especially if they were cast with something like a glass fill. Printed gears can be strong enough, but they will wear out much faster. Especially if you don't reproduce the tooth forms accurately.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ A gear printed at 100% infill would be incredibly solid and strong; definitely enough for your use if the original gear was also plastic.]]></description>
