Greetings all; Progress report:
I adjusted the printers scales about .15%, getting a closer to perfect circle sprocket while I'm at it, then found the x belt wasn't as highly tensioned as the y, so I tightened that some too, so we'll measure the next one before removing it from the glass to make sure I didn't screw it up. But I'm getting slow in my dotage, sitting there staring at the alu OEM sprocket with has a machined into the 25mm bore, 5mm key to fit a slot in the shaft, trying to figure out how to cheat and duplicate that machined in key in PETG. Then it finally dawned on me that I could expand the shaft hole to about 41.8mm, and drive the new sprocket onto the old one, perhaps with some superglue to lock it. So I've done that, but I might as well let this test make finish and measure it first. And when I let it do it lights out, I wind up with several gobs of plastic on the glass when its done, and I finally found where its coming from, its catching the infill and tearing it out when useing a 20% crosshatch. So I played with that in cura, but that added 4 more hours to the build time. Watching paint dry is almost as exciting... Good night all.
