Is resin printing useful for gears??? Results from my experiments show that the parts printed from resin are much more brittle and prone to failures from repeated loading. In this experiment, the PLA I was using was Inland "Tough PLA" and the resin was "ABS-Like" clear resin. This gearbox will be used in some future projects of mine so stay tuned for more!
