Sharing My Custom Rack Generation Feature

Since I frequently use racks in my designs but couldn’t find a suitable built-in feature in Onshape’s FeatureScript library, I decided to create a custom rack generation tool—inspired by Alex’s Spur Gear script.
This tool lets you choose between Module and DP, and supports a range of parameters including:
Pressure angle
Tooth thickness
Tooth height
Root radius
Tooth chamfer
Helical gearing
Herringbone gearing
If you have any questions or suggestions for new features, feel free to leave a comment below!
Special thanks to Alex’s FeatureScripts Spur Gear for the inspiration—many structural elements from that script were adapted in this project.
