N / Re: EMD F9 Diesel gear - 9907 / 9907-1

Hello:

Its been 4 years and I know some aftermarket replacement parts for N-gauge logos are showing up on Ebay and Shapeways as 3-D printed parts, but not these gears which I need.

There even is a 3D STL? file out there for these gears I need, but when a friend of mine tried to print them using his 3D printer using PLA, the resolution just wasn't there as they came out as white blobs with little nubs where the cogs should be (a bit of an over-exaggeration, but you get the point).

I understand Resin-based 3D printing can provide better resolution, but no one I know can do this type of printing since it is much more involved.

Anyone else have an update on where to get these?

Thanks in advance.
