Tobbe,

Was there any noticeable deformation of the boiled gear? For example, did it
have any out-of-roundness (i.e. ovalization) and/or was it warped?

Thanks,
TJ

*digging through layers of bins and instructions to find my slide
calliper*

Okay, measuring from one side, two gear tops resting on the caliper on
each side the gear is 17.50 mm and measuring the other diagonal it's
17.45.

Note that my caliper can't tell if it's 17.46, just .x0 or .x5.

Can't notice _any_ warping, but it might be there, hard to tell.

Note that this also was a random gear of my collection so it could
just have been that way before boiling.

A reference gear is 17.20 by 17.20 mm though so it might have grown in
the process...

It did not feel different sliding it to an axle either...

I wounder if this works with axles, I'd suppose not since the plastic
feels different.
