3-D Printing and Spencer Tape Gears

[madhatte]

I've used key rings before, but that sharpened eye is a fine idea. Might have to try it.

Thanks! Yeah you just gotta keep an eye on that key ring. Otherwise its a lot better than anything else I've seen or tried.

By god I found it, and I'm back! Whatd' I miss?

Those tape nails are the shiznitty, especially with a plastic tape end...way less weight, and just stretch the rubber bumper over about half of it or you lose em.

Here is a link to the thread that I posted way back when, so that I don't have to do it all over again...hey that rhymes, I might just have to make a song about that...

Figure this here is the best place to park this pic

Found in an old junk store probably paid to much but had to have it, still has the white onesided tape, and just needed a good tensioning, and a new end ring and nail.

Nice! That's an oldie!

Think I'll get me a diameter tape for it, and use if for cruising only. Not that I'm any good at it, but a dia tape is better then guestimating on the math.

Anyone know anything about the Spencer tapes from across the pond? Are they mfd' at JA Gadd, or just the distributor (can't find any details on the google)?
If mfd', then maybe they're not plastic gears...?
