What are the dimensions of the gear?

I used a ruler to measure as I have nothing of better accuracy at such a small scale.
These are the dimensions of the smallest gear, the gear that had broken teeth.

- Teeth are 1.5mm wide and 2mm long, being as high as the gear itself.
- The circular base of the gear is 12mm in diameter, being 16mm in diameter including the teeth.
- The entire gear is 9mm high.

There are 14 teeth on this gear.

I was using stock Aus spec springs with thick hot glue spacers. I have tried the metal teeth with stronger springs, but they ended up stripping off other plastic teeth, hence why I needed to replace three teeth rather than just the one. Since the metal teeth are anchored inside the gear with hot glue though I don't think they will break off when used with upgraded springs.

200 darts (100 primes) later and...

Maybe my eyes are just bad, but I couldn't see much of a difference between the wear before and after the 200 dart barrage, and certainly no apparent extra damage. The only difference I did spot was that there seemed to be less grey metal residue on the other components. Additionally the prime feels a little smoother than when I originally installed the metal wire teeth.

I've been seeing no appreciable wear on the wire teeth. As for the other parts...

The dark smudges are of course the rubbing of the metal against the other components. I have noticed a little bit of shaving off of the inside edges of the teeth, but not enough to cause trouble priming the blaster or major damage to the components (yet). I don't think the teeth will get worn down enough to break though, because the wire fits in rather comfortably between teeth as is.
