3D print filling density?
Quote from DK4FT on 2021-04-06, 13:12I am starting to print the parts for the SATRAN rotor.
What filling density is suggested for printing the functional parts, is 20% sufficient?
Best regards

More importantly is the layer height, that for the gears could be as low as 0.1mm to give them a smoother surface, also it is advisable to sand them a little with fine grit paper before applying the grease. This will give you a smoother and stronger operation.
Good luck! SM7YSA Daniel
