Involute Gear Extruder Visualiser for MK3S

Gears are cool!

I'd seen a few axis visualisers and such like in the shape of “gears”, but most of them were artists impressions of gears (rectangles or trapeziums stuck on the outside of a circle) rather than proper involute (or cycloidal) form gears and that sort of thing irritates me, so  I thought I'd design my own.

I've made a set to include a control knob and visualisers for X, E and Z axes.  All are module 2 gears.  You can see them all in the last photo.  This is the extruder visualiser and has 18 teeth (matching the X-axis visualiser and larger control knob).  Like many other extruder visualisers, it needs an 8×3 mm magnet to attach it to the extruder motor.  There's a small brim to help get the magnet in the right place.
