Hi Ron. This is a reasonable price for everything, but individuals may not need all parts in a batch. For example, I just finished making an 80 tooth idler gear day before yesterday. I definitely am not in the market for one, since even if someone gave me one, I would preferentially use mine. We're funny about our tools.

Don't beat yourself up over buying the incorrect parts. It's all part of the journey. Make sure to be super safe. Even a tiny incident will make $174 seem like chump change.

how did you make your gear and have you tried a printed plastic gear

Hi Ron. I don't really need anything. The only thing I am missing is the 40 tooth gear, and I don't need to thread 10 tpi for much of anything. In answer to your question, yes, I have tried 3-D printed gears (the ones on Thingiverse). They work exactly as they are supposed to. The person who printed out a couple of test gears for me tried a 20% fill to save time and filament. This gear seemed flimsy, but it is fully strong enough (with a hub). I also had rings printed out and epoxied them around a hub. The reason for this is to avoid warpage in the large diameters and save filament. Finally, I cast some blanks in a foundry and finished them with a hand shaper. Eventually, I want to try out a dividing head on a horizontal mill, but I do not have a dividing head (yet) and I do not have the required cutters.
