My odometer stopped working yesterday, and I thought my 3D-printed gear failed. Took it apart only to realize the speedometer still had the original amber gear, with missing teeth! Turns out I never installed my own gear in my own car. 
So, time to put my money where my mouth is and run the ceramic/resin printed gear in a real car. It's been tested on the bench up to about 50k miles, so I'll be watching closely to see how long it lasts in the actual car. My hope and expectation is that it will last longer than the rest of the car!

I actually did the exact repair two days ago!
My issue now is the air bag light is constantly on.
Cheers

Thanks for the files!Tom wrote: Sat Jul 30, 2022 3:05 pm After much modeling and testing, I'm happy to post these 944 Odometer Gears. If printing on an FDM printer, be aware that support is needed. The 'flat' side isn't all flush to the print bed. Both 20/21 and 20/22 versions are available.

See a user-submitted 20-29 gear in post #122 of this thread.
And if you are missing any of the rubber feet that go under the speedometer, here is a file for that as well. Prints easily in Ninjaflex of other TPU material on a most standard printers.
