opcorn:
what are the id/od and height of the part you'd need? Is there a shoulder or any steps etc?
Looks like I need to take and post pics. I'll try to remember to do that when I get to work tomorrow.
As for saw parts -- there are any number of things I think would be well-served by 3D-printed repros. A good place to start would be covers and things like that which don't hold big temperatures or pressures. Intake manifolds are a great idea too. I bet there are lots of NLA parts which could be fabbed in plastic.

Tell me more about this picture --> point cloud --> model process. I have another, unrelated idea which might work that way.
Nate my friend I'm glad to see that you're continuing on with your forward thinking.

Guess I should call myself 'the other' Nate?
It is definitely the weak spot in the design. It is at the heart of nearly 100% of all failures I've seen in these tapes. An improved gear would be a very good thing to have.
I know it's probably not as much fun and all,
but have you tried asking the engineer you spoke to at spence who produced the old stamped metal versions? Chances are, they've still got the tooling, and could pump out a short run quickly and cheaply. Being OEM, you know they'd work too.
If you get a model or measurements for the the both gears let me know.
edit, I guess the id and height is improtant too
I don't have a clue as to how much it costs.
