Description
------------------
In this video we 3D Print some gears for the CD-ROM unit of the Panasonic 3DO FZ-1. The original gears were nylon which, over time, shrink and crack causing the drives to fail. This is the start of an investigation into whether "engineering resin" is a suitable material to use. Previous resin types have been far too brittle.

This video covers the printing process. The fitting and testing will be in a separate video due to video length (and my lack of stamina).
