Bevel Gear TeaLight (for LED lights)

<p>Christmas time is coming....!</p><p>I recently printed one of the nice fractal-design tealights in vase-mode and thought about some other design. To design this bevel gear was obvious for a mechanical engineer! ;) I haven't tried using a real candle yet and due to the flammable material I recommend using a LED light!</p><p>Hope you enjoy it! Merry Christmas everyone!</p><p>Update (28-11-2019): I added two more designs with less but bigger teeth to make it more look like a gears again. One comes with helical and the other one with straight teeth. But I have not tried printing them yet...</p><p>Update (29-11-2019): Printed the other two versions, too. They came out perfect! I posted pictures of them here. :)</p><h3>Print Settings</h3><p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p><p>Creality</p><p><strong>Printer:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Ender 3 Pro</p><p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p><p>No</p><p><strong>Supports:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>No</p><p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p><p>0.2 mm</p><p><strong>Infill:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>-</p><p><strong>Filament:</strong> Renkforce PETG transparent</p><p><br>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Notes:</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I printed this design in vase mode (spiralize outer contour) with a 0.4 mm line width and a 1.2 mm bottom thickness.</p><p>How I Designed This ===================</p><p>For the basic shape of the bevel gear I used the automatic function in Autodesk Inventor to create gears with given parameters. After that I just modified the design a little bit to make it easier to print (especially for vase mode) and added some space for the LED candle.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
