The tolerance settings seem to be fine for most people, but occasionally \u003cstrong\u003efused or too loose gears\u003c\/strong\u003e come up in the comments. I most cases that can be fixed by adjusting the \u003cstrong\u003eflow ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e (a.k.a. extrusion multiplier). Reduce (in case of fused gears) or increase (in case of falling out gears) that value a bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesign by DrJones on MakerWorld (license: BY).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mymadmanlab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67375185822000,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/0809\/5280\/files\/0_79ba4e7e-491e-41f7-8e0b-cec4941d5758.png?v=1784228824","url":"https:\/\/mymadmanlab.com\/products\/the-counterintuitive-gear-fidget","provider":"Mymadmanlab.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
