Suspect servo statistics subvert successful spline syncronization

Everything fit, but my gears for nozzle rotation didn't mesh properly.

To line things up and make the cutouts for where the servos were going to sit I had two different models.  One was the actual servo model, and one was the negative I used to generate the pocket it would need.  The negative one was a little oversized with exaggerated depth for the flanges and pegs to generate the screw holes.  It worked well.

Well it seems over the course of the project I accidentally modified the cutout version and changed the depth from the output shaft to the mounting flanges.  I've flipped the side of the flange I was going to use a couple times so I can understand how it happened..

Blue is the original, yellow is my cutout.

Depth is kinda important for a right angle drive, so now the gears don't mesh.  Fixing.
