Stripped cog on Z-drive

[Eagle Hollow]

Does anyone know if just the gears are available or will I have to buy a new motor to get them?

I don't know the answer to your question but would love to see pictures and find out what you were doing when this happened.....

I'll take pictures when I get to the shop. I'm quite sure it was caused by "operator error". I've been dealing with Z stalls so decided to get a closer look at the machinery. The flex shaft didn't lift out like normal so I gave it a sharp tug. That may have caused the cog to break off. I can't remember but I think I was hearing the noise prior to that by manually moving the z truck up and down assuming it was a bad bearing. Pics to follow later today.

Thanks Al. Was hoping you would jump in.

One cog is missing

Jerry,

It would be nice to be able to get those gears as separate parts. I had a problem with one on the Y motor.

If you are able to get a new gear, let us know so I can salvage an otherwise good motor assembly.

Ken,
I'm looking but I'll probably have to buy the whole assembly @$62.50 plus S&H.

If I find a source for just the gear, I'll post.
