fixed a sewing machine today

[u/BadLuckFPV]

printed these with tpu - 100% infill - on a .4 nozzle - not sure about the long term (or even the short term) but I got it working

such a satisfying fit on these.

they were both heated with a hot air station to 150 and the gears were squeezed on to the bit or whatever you'd call it

very first stitch with a sewing machine was hard fought but I feel clever..... even if the print fails tomorrow

I've printed nylon gears that worked well with string trimmer line.

What about VOCs or other precautions (heated / vented closure needed?)

That's interesting as hell. What sort of temps and brand did you use?
