Working Gear Pump

Working Gear Pump OverviewThis fully functional 3D-printed gear pump demonstrates the core principles of fluid dynamics, mechanical engineering, and additive manufacturing. Designed for educational purposes, it serves as a hands-on tool to visualize how external gear pumps operate—showcasing the interaction between meshing gears, fluid displacement, and pressure generation. The pump is 3D-printed, making it accessible for classrooms, workshops, and DIY engineering projects. Its design allows for easy assembly, disassembly, and experimentation, while its functionality proves the viability of 3D printing for mechanical systems. Assembly & UsageRequired Tools & Components6x M4 bolts (length ≥ 25 mm)6x M4 nutsStep-by-Step AssemblyInsert the Gears Place the two gears into the designated slots in the pump housing. Ensure they mesh smoothly without excessive friction.Attach the Lid Align the lid with the housing and secure it using the 6x M4 bolts and nuts. Tighten evenly to avoid misalignmen
