Can anyone post a picture of the drive gears that attach to the stepper motors? I don't seem to have anything in my kit that matches the pictures in he assembly manual. The only gears that I find in my kit that even remotely look like they might be what I need are shown in the image below. Thanks.

Lol, yeah I heard someone else mention they were shipping with those now. Not sure why, I suspect it has to do with increasing the lifespan of the belts. Mine came with the old style, we'll see how they hold up

I just found out today about a parameter in the configuration.h file that contains the tooth count. The original gears were 15 and it will need to be changed to 20 for the new gears.
