A while ago I printed a 24 tooth gear. Since I had some trouble recently with stringy prints I needed some small things to print. Gears are nice and small, don't take too long either.
First I went through slic3r settings and found that I had accidentally set retraction to zero. That caused the stringy prints.
Next was the Victorian Chair again.

The left front leg didn't make it...
And the backrest has an artifact. Still much better than the first attempt next to it.
Next was another gear, seen on the left. Until now I had printed at 0.4mm layers, so I wanted to try smalle layers: the small gear on the right is 0.1mm layers.
Two problems with the gears: the bottom has a larger diameter that the top, and the holes in the top layer. It might be an issue with the model or slic3r or the printer. Not sure which yet.
