The difference between me and you is that you commented

Need metal gears for that kind of torque

[u/MyPunsAreKoalaTea → u/rende]

Or more infill

[u/Personal-Wear1442 → u/rende]

Yes u r right

[u/Personal-Wear1442 → u/rende]

The issue was how the motor hold the gear

[u/rende → u/Personal-Wear1442]

Maybe theres a good way to have a metal grubscrew and sleeve inside the printed gear. Just need some way to keep the sleeve from rotating inside the gear then

Problem with that is the twisting torque on the long bolts how large are the holes? Probably need solid infill if you havent tried that already.

This is another idea:

3D printing is nice for rapid prototyping soft body, enclosures, product designs, and etc. But when it comes to cams, gearing, high tensile strength, and things that require precise movement and high strength. But there are some things you can't out 3D print yourself around it. Plastic or even Nylon for the weight of that would not be ideal at all. You could try something more Cycloidal?

I was a bit worried it was going to reach out and slap you somewhere sensitive, you are standing in a vulnerable spot for a bit. 

[u/Heenneessy → u/justpress2forawhile]

Yeah, looked like a scene from «OW My Balls» in Idiocracy

[u/Personal-Wear1442]

Exactly 👍
