How about making a silicone mold from an original gear and making copies out
of some kind of plastic or epoxy resin?
Hi
As long as the load is not that great, one can whack
out the center with a drill and then notch it with a file.
The drill needs to be larger than the OD of the inner splins.
You then fill the voids with a mixture of epoxie and
fiber glass wool...
That sounds interesting for a large enough gear, but in this case,
it's about 1/8" in diameter and 5/32" long with a bore of 1/20".
I don't think I'll be trying to whack and/or notch a chunk of
plastic that's smaller than a tic-tac.
