I've changed some minor things: 

The gears can be printed with 0.4mm nozzle, however, I printed a bunch with 0.25mm, with a much nicer result. Slic3r takes some persuasion to print in 0.4, but it's possible. But had to go to Cura to slice 0.25mm, otherwise it wouldn't print. 

The idler bearings are glued in place. Make sure to turn the shaft a couple of round before glueing, so the bearings can wobble into alignment. 

All the parts is printed in PETG, works nicely. 

I have printed a couple of kilos of filament now, no problem what so ever. Before I would strip PLA in the V6, but the only thing stopping it, is maximum motor current. 

Original files are here.
