I tried first but the tolerances for the gear teeth were bad on my printer. Also, isn't backlash related to the extra spacing between the teeth, not the angular velocity of the output shaft i.e. the BWE quarter gears would still have high backlash because of the crapy teeth spacing of the 8t gear?

Thanks for all the helpful replies. So for those of you who have used the BWE quarter gears, if you drive it with an 8t gear approximately how much backlash do you get at a point 15 cm from the center? I want to know that it will work before I buy them off the internet. thanks again!

I am designing a crank system for my 3D printed music box to turn the music cylinder. Since the music box cylinder is large about 30 cm diameter, the effects of backlash of only a degree or two is magnified. How can I use lego gears to design a crank that increases torque and decreases speed with practically zero backlash? I know I may receive some flack for this, but I am fine with a solution that requires some glue or 3D printed parts or springs, but I would prefer if it was all Technic. Thanks!!!
