Update: Don't do it

Got some bad news. I don't think this will work.

I didn't cut anything yet or try it, but upon further inspection, I found that this mod has a few problems. The big gear has a hole for the axle, but it sits flush with the smaller gear (the smaller gear is just hollow). So if you cut it off from the small gear, the small gear won't have anything in the middle, it will just be hollow. There might be a small portion of the axle hole thing left on the small gear after cutting but it will be very thin.

To be fair, correct me if I'm wrong Elliott, it doesn't matter how thin the part that holds the axle hole is, since the gear is supposed to rotate freely on the axle and isn't fixed to it. But I'm not sure if it will still work. I also doubt there will be anything left after cutting.

Sorry if this is hard to understand through my explanation, I wish I had pictures. This discovery might have made this not as possible as I thought.

Bottom line, I'm not gonna risk it and I'm just gonna find a place to 3D print the gears. Sorry guys.
