A Fillet Gear Generator
CODE "FREE" TO GET FOR FREE
My love of gears and all things mechanical have lead me to make my own custom gear generator :D
Unfortunately i did not do a good job with the code of this one or the last at least 7 iterations but before i move on to the next ground up rebuild i wanted to share how far i got with this one
Things to note when generating gears are:
- When generating a gear with a negative radius (Internal gear) you will get an error if the Radius+Addendum of the "largest connecting gear" does not fit within the Radius-Addendum (Dedendum) of the gear you are making (just toggle "Live Generate" to stop the errors)
- Larger Gears connecting to Internal gears might not fit because of code i need to remake from the ground up
- If you make a radius (abs value) smaller than the "Smallest connecting gear" than the gear will not mesh correctly
- The "Hole size" is relative to the radius on an Internal gear (negative Radius gear)
- Edge bevels might bug out a bit if the Twist Gear "detail" is too high
Have fun and let me know if anything seems like a bug (crashes and things like that) and thanks for any "donations" to my future projects.. every dollar helps (sales is the amount of people who donated fyi)
UPDATE
over 1000 downloads and 5 sales (32$) :D it would be cool to see what people are making with this
the new version is turning out a little more complicated then expected so don't hold your breath... there is no eta.. it could be years
You will get a Blender addon :D
