was looking and seeing that most of the gear is bought in bulk. That being said, does anyone have any extra stuff of the hardware as in the bolts/screws/nuts? I can pay you for that gear, I just didn’t want to buy 100pcs from Mcmaster Carr and waste lots of money. I am assuming people have some extra gear?

Hello Marc,
I am also locking for a good software to design gears… I agree with you most of the gears are bulk, or bad!
I need to make real gears for my oil-pump. I would like to print them in the strongest possible plastic. Anyone know what filament I best use also?
Thanks

PLA is probably your best idea. This post was just to see if someone was kind enough and had the extra parts that (bolts/rods/screws/nuts) That I could purchase the needed amount.

I don’t know. I think I have spent $40.00 so far on bolts/screws and nuts, and that was for exact quantities. If a person was to split this order, it would be about the same price. This includes the rods as well.

Shipping was around $10.00 on this if I was to order it.

The bearings were way to expensive at McMaster-Carr.

I’d be curious if anyone else has spent around $30 to $50 for these items.

I mean I would split the cost =)

As in half of $120.42? Where would I be shipping the other half to?

If in the US, you may want to look at BoltDepot. You can buy exact quantities from them. If I remember correctly I bought the exact bolts/nuts I needed (plus some spares) and it was around $15-$16 including shipping.

Also for bearings you could try FastEddyBearings. I usually use them when buying RC car bearings. They sell individual bearings for $1 each + shipping. It was still more than $20 though as I believe there are something like 22-24 bearings in the buggy.

If you have a local hobby shop you may want to check with them for the rods. I purchased mine at my local hobby shop for $5.

I will have to check out BoltDepot and FastEddyBearings. If I can get them cheaper, I will update this link with its own tab.

Wow on BoltDepot!!! $8.20 total for all the bolts/screws and nuts.

Yeah, and their economy shipping to me (in Michigan) is $5. I’ve been ordering from them for a few years now for projects that’ I’m working on. Things come bagged and labeled nicely.

wow thanks for the update =)
