Links to the hardwares that i used:
1.5mm and 2.0mm pins (I used ejector pin shafts that is cut down to length using a dremel with diamond disc cutter)
Dremel Diamond Disc Cutter Link
PLA
Highly recommend 0.3mm nozzle although 0.4mm could work if you're using a better quality printer.
Print the gears with low speeds, i used 15mm/s with 0.12mm layer height
Gear shaft diameter is designed to be slightly smaller so use a 1.5mm drill bit or any suitable tool to remove some materials and achieve smooth rotation.
Other Hardware:
1.5mm pins:
19mm - 4X
11mm - 1X
