I had to go back & see how the clearance story ended. Do you mean you 'offset' 0.02" to adjoining pitch diameters.... or?
Then what about a train of gears like A,B,C,D - was B offset from A 0.02" then C was offset from B by 0.02" ?
Good thing you didn't have a planetary gear setup LOL

For example, if the PD is 5.000, I made it 5.020... I can run group 1 and 2 without issue. On group 3 it binds at one of the little gears way up the line. The 3D printed parts are failing too (slowly).. I am looking a design change using shoulder bolts for the male shafts, into an aluminum base and spacers.

The main point now is to just through tomorrow, then its time to give the Makerspace some time off.. Real paying work and a small section of fence r next....
 
I would like to share the Grand opening at the Makerspace. This video is long, but if you stick till the end, you will see the Gear wall unveiling and recognition. I also appear working on both CAM work station and the machine..

As far as updates, I am still printing replacement parts and my shoulder bolts are set to arrive from Grainger in July..

 
Looks great, watched it all through. You did a lot of work, to get that put together and working. The maker space looks great too. I think there is one in Calgary, haven't been to it, just watched some video about it. By the time I would have paid for fuel to get to it and their fees, not sure as to fezeablity for me.(dam spell check, I think it's gave up on me). I am sure they have some equipment I would like to try or use.

Sait has a maker space. U of C has one. Fuse is another space. There are several others, if you do a search they should come up.
