Still W-I-P. Sharing because comments on the original asked for some of these improvements, and because several things changed from Quintox303's design:

  1. Added the D
  2. Pins/holes to locate the letters accurately.
  3. Two-part base for printing on smaller beds
  4. Improved E- and S-gear axles

Updated but not yet printed by me (7 Feb):

  1. Improve the E- and S-gear axles more... they're still weak.
  2. Chamfer bottom of D, E and S and top of C, L, and R main gear

Still to do:

  1. Thicken E- S- and sun-gears
  2. Add small bearing surfaces to base to lift gears off base for reduced friction
  3. Move main axles slightly (3-4mm?) closer together to reduce play
  4. Stops to stop rotation when in correct alignment.
  5. Increase base size behind the D
  6. Increase height of main axles

Print Settings

Notes:

Be careful not to over-extrude... anything protruding can cause binding of the gears.

Post-Printing

Sand and smooth off any over-extrusion which cause E- and S-gears to bind, and where E binds on the D attachment.
