PLA should have enough flex for the part of a cycloidal drive that has to flex. It also is pretty tough so wear would be a minimal issue. Just don't run it fast and/or under a bunch of pressure without some lube. I suspect a silicone grease made for plastics (like that sticky white stuff often

Temperature settings (in degrees C) are in codes at the start of the g code files so they're easy to change in any text editor. Most of the strength in a 3D print is in the shell and perimeters around holes. Infill over 50% is almost always a waste. Adding more perimeters does more for

Hi Gene, 0.01 arcsec is way too high resolution. Unless you have a telescope with 12.6m diameter (sin(delta) = 1.22 * lambda/D, with delta the angle in radians, lambda the light wavelength (take green 500nm) and D the diameter.) Even then, in extremely good skies from ground level, our atmosphere
