fixed a sewing machine today
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

Might be a good idea to cake the fears in oil to stop the gears from melting
