Steve I was having so much trouble printing the spacers turning into spaghetti all over inside the printer. Not realizing what the problem was. I kept washing the plate over, raising the heat bed temperature, raising the temperature of the filament and still halfway through I would get spaghetti. Then I realized when I looked at the file the spacer S9 is floating in the air it's not down level with all the other spacers. Was there a reason for that? Also I noticed and didn't see it until after I printed was there a reason why you put numbers on some of the gears? I don't mean to sound like I'm asking stupid questions but it's just very strange that there's numbers on a couple of the gears. But I'm more concerned about S9 floating in the air is that a completed piece that if I just lower it onto the plate or is it supposed to be longer.

Sorry about that. I just noticed the same thing. It was a stupid mistake on my part. For some unknown reason, the gear 9 spacer is floating in space instead of being positioned on the build plate. I released an updated zip file yesterday to fix gear_spacers. Or you could explode the spacers in the slicer and re-order them so they all land on the plate.
The numbers on the gears are to help match up runtime options. The 12 day gear 7 only meshes with the 12 day gear 4. It also comes in handy a year from now when you want to know what runtime option was used.
