After having a broken gear for the above eject motor and not able to find a gear for it, I set out to make my own. First CAD design and first endeavor into 3D printing as I just received my Anycubic Photon Mono 4K. A fellow member of @mitchkramez stepped in to help with the details as I am new to CAD. After a few days of emails and samples, we are releasing the gear STL file for the benefit of the community. Here is the file and some pictures of the gear. Anyone wanting to make modifications, contact me and will send the source files as I used freeCAD and @mitchkramez used Fusion360. I used the tough resign and the only setting I changed on ChituBox is the exposure time to 3.5. As I said, I am new to CAD and 3D printing so I open this up to input from the experts.

2MB Sony Eject Gear for Sanwa Motor

I used freeCAD and yes it has a gear function to make it. Also has an add-on that can be added to make even more gears. I printed 40 of them today.
Would be nice but when installed in the drive you would never see that as the floppy metal frame blocks it all. Would only be usable if you are testing the eject motor outside of the floppy to see it spin. I was thinking about the entire black part of the eject motor that is plastic but I would only try that with a junk motor which I don’t have and I need to learn freeCAD more and get my filament printer.Awesome. How about a clear resin lid for the gear housing so you can see the gears moving?
Then you could see 'em turning.
