Resin cast broken plastic gear

Our 750 page hopper fed shredder broke a plastic gear on the feed roller rendering the monster shredder into a single page feed weakling. I looked everywhere for a replacement gear and could not find one. So I decided to try to make a duplicate gear from resin casting the matching remaining good gear.

Thank you for making a very easy, useful and short video, I’m sick of seeing people talking for hours and doing less 😖

You are a freaking genius man! Subscribed and liked all at the same time!!!!! Our expensive plotter cutter broke a simple gear and I had to buy the entire unit to replace it. A simple cracked gear is all it is, and you just saved lots of money and frustration of cutting plans by hand with a razor knife, and never having to buy the whole part again!!!! THANK YOU!!!

Excellent video. Now I can repair my thicknesser sprockets. :)

Great work pal thanks for sharing.

[@buddyboy4x44]

Great demonstration, good for other similar replacements. Inspirational.

I have replacement gears for a 1960s Athearn HO scale steam engine for my brother and they work great. I used smooth on products for my project. I used the task 8 resin for tge gears and the dark blue silicone for the mold. It helps to use a mold release agent to get the parts out.

Tq. Learned something from your posting

You are a dang genius! Thanks you

[@frundlemud]

Very good indeed, I will remember.

[@Simon-qn5wm]

Great to see people makimg things like this rather than throwing the entire machine away. The corporate greedy giants probably would not even sell you a small gear like this

I have an ice cream machine by bella. one tiny small plastic gear inside the motor cracked in half. It's like pulling teeth trying to get them to tell me how to replace it. They all act stupid as if the part can not be replaced but they still make the model so they MUST have gears for it. I can't use this video because I don't have a duplicate gear. the original cracked in half. I may be able to glue it back to gether temporarily but it is literally smaller than a pinky fingernail in width and the thickness of a chopstick tall.

[@abdulwaaseihsultan7733]

perfect! can you please tell me a little more about this silicon and what type of shop it should be available from.

[@brownian9]

That's amazing, I would love to follow that but I don't know how to do mixtures you use. What is the name or brand of resin and silicon you use. Because i have broken gear for paper shredder and as you said it's hard to find a replacement. I bought a new paper shredder of same brand and I like to duplicate first the good gear of it and fix the broken one so that I can use it again and not to dump it.

[@bricomecanique5724]

Very very good ;)

[@celsofleury7085]

Put some WD 40 into to the mold ! Gear get out so easy!!

[@mikesfarmmikesfarm3977]

are there not fibers like used in concrete to mix in for stronger teeth ? makes me want to 3d print models to cast with stronger material.

2K Harz ohne Armierung, wie stabil wird das? Ich nehme immer entweder Baumwollflocken oder Kohlefaserstaub um eine Verstärkung zu erzielen.

[@bhupendradesai3402]

Which material used in making forma. Nice please reply for onward subscribe thanks

[@vincedeblasi4849]

The mold form was made of scrap 1/4" plywood glued together with hot-melt glue. I should have waxed the interior to make the silicone release easier. The silicone rubber mold material is a "Smooth-On" Silicone Rubber Compound with a 1 to 1 mix ratio. The replica was made with a 1 to 1 mix ratio Epoxy Resin and Hardener.

[@mustafaerkek4263]

Can it be used as a gear permanently such as plastic one? Have you tried?

Заменили пластиковую деталь на деталь из эпоксидной смолы без каких-то добавок, и это должно потом в каком-то механизме работать?🤔 🙄 Перестаньте такие опыты делать
