it’s a gear, so you need the layers to be perpendicular to the rotation to give it a chance, but the final drive interface came up off the gear like a tophat. It was not a good candidate for FDM. Realistically, it wasn’t a good candidate for resin either. The tophat really needed to be metal with an interface into resin or nylon for the gear to gear surfaces.
Not sure, might be different. Like the infill might go side to side but walls go up and down. So increasing walls might still give more strength.
