Summary
Has your pencil sharpener stopped working? Does the motor turn without sharpening? The original very small gear that fits into the gearbox of this “Staples” brand pencil sharpener apparently is weak and breaks easily as did mine. The instructions for locating and removing the gear is best seen on YouTube from the generous work and post from TheOverEngineer. Find his posting using the above combination of search words. The attached STL file should provide you with the exact part you need. Good luck and happy printing. Leave me comments if this was helpful.
Print Settings
Printer Brand:
Creality
Printer:
Ender 3
Rafts:
Yes
Supports:
No
Resolution:
.02
Infill:
100%
Notes:
I printed the part with the gear teeth side down. The raft is just 2 mm wide to assure good bed adhesion. I would recommend default high quality settings for your printer and filament chosen.
Post-Printing
No post-print clean-up was necessary
Just remove any rémanents of the raft or skirt if one was used.

How I Designed This
Here is my video which covers a lot about this gear’s design and is a bit humorous to watch.
