Replacement gear for L.L. Bean mini crank 3 LED flashlight
Description
A Few Years Ago, One Of My L.L. Bean Mini-Crank 3 Led Flashlights Broke. I Own Several Because I Hate Using Disposable Batteries. I Could No Longer Wind The Crank To Charge The Flashlight. After Taking It Apart, I Found That The Center Gear Had Some Teeth Broken Off. I Always Figured That I Could Fix It Somehow. So I Put It Away For Another Day. Years Later, I Get My 3D Printer, And Figure That Now Is My Chance. I Take Measurements Off The Broken Gear, And Using The Gear Add-On In Blender, I Was Able To Make Something That Looked Very Close. The Outer Teeth Were Perfect, But The Inner Teeth Did Not Quite Come Out Right Due To Their Small Size. I Made A Few Adjustments, And Finally Got A Gear That Worked Smoothly After About Three Tries. I Fixed It! Amazingly, After About A Month, One Of The Other Flashlights Broke In The Same Way. I Simply Got The Stl File From Before, And Printed Out Another New Gear.
