Arachne slicing
I was wondering if you had looked at the Arachne slicing algorithm which is in Cura 5 and the alpha version of Prusa Slicer 2.5.0. It works much better on gear teeth than the old slicing algorithm. You get a lot fewer of the little tiny lines in the middle of teeth which you worked round by using fancy gears.

It is quite interesting. I am excited to try the new Arachne engine. Most of my clock gears have been heavily optimized to slice without Arachne and I believe they will print better with the classic slicer. However, nearly all other clock parts should work best with Arachne. This includes all of the large slow printing parts. A 30% speedup would make a big difference. It would be even faster with a 0.3mm layer height.
Up until now, I have only used 0.4mm nozzles. I don't even know if I own any 0.6mm nozzles. Maybe a machine with a quick-change nozzle would make me change my mind.
