3D Printing Mechanical Music Instrument Parts
By George Epple

Through the collaboration of Dr. Wayne Finger, myself and a friend,
replacement Ampico B gears for the drawer roll motor can now be
fabricated using 3D printing.

Dr. Finger designed and spec'd the gear and provided the printer
file.  My friend then printed several "beta test" gears, in a range of
materials.  After much testing we have a good performing printed gear.
If anyone needs a gear, let me know.
