ZPRINT's STL models normally define a surface profile only. Cura is not tied to 3D printers from Ultimaker, it also supports 3D Printers from other manufacturers. If you haven't installed an STL program yet, we recommend the Cura Software version 15.0.4.6 (not the latest version) from Ultimaker. ZPRINT is preset to start your STL program after entering the data in the STL menu and open the STL file generated by ZPRINT. The half-inch grid mass is matched by gears with an inch pitch, e.g.

However, there is no restriction, the dimensions are freely selectable.

The default data is based on the earlier metal kits of Märklin: Grid measure 12.7 mm (half-inch), shafts 4 mm, screws M4. Only bolts and nuts as well as axes and shafts are missing for the homemade model kit. In addition to gears, you can also generate gear case, grid plates, grip strips, grid blocks, T piece, U piece, angular brackets, washers, bushings, wheels, cranks, clamping rings, U plates and panels as an STL file and create them with 3D printers. To calculate the axle distance, you can enter the number of teeth and profile shift of the counter wheel. With round bore, you can still merge the gear wheel with a clamp ring. The bore can be round, flattened, square, hexagonal or round with groove. ZPRINT was created at Christmas 2018 to quickly and easily make gears for self-defined models and model kits.įrom module or pitch, number of teeth, gear width and bore, ZPRINT creates an STL file. The tooth flank clearance is set relatively large with tolerance b27 (DIN 3967). ZPRINT Gearprinter is a software for creating STL files from involute spur gears.
