Hey Pravdorub, ever wonder why a seemingly perfect gear keeps shattering at the last millimeter? I’m thinking we could dissect the geometry that slips past our printers' tolerance before it goes catastrophic. What do you say?

Sounds like a classic “it works until it doesn’t” case. Let’s pull up the STL, check the wall thickness, and see where the printer’s resolution bites. If the gear’s teeth are under a millimeter thick, the slicer’s slicing is going to turn them into brittle crumbs. I’ll map the stress points, we’ll tweak the geometry to give the printer a chance to finish it without turning a perfect gear into a pile of broken bits. Ready to dive in?
