  • Splined Gear / Splined Shaft

    Hello, I am searching for a Script similar to this one, I cant use it and dont have the experience to overwrite or write a new one, maybe someone can help to find a similar one for DIN ISO / Metric https://cad.onshape.com/documents/5848a5f5f680f5104c2bb48d Best Regards and Thanks in Advance

  • I can't get a cycloid's platted points to scale in a uniform way

    How do I get the points to scale without distortion? This section of my code takes a bunch of input parameters and creates a parametric function that plots points that are part of the line for a cycloid. The if statement, if (eclen), is a boolean that, when true, is supposed to scale the points by adding (ec_shell-cymod)…

  • Unable to remove from Gear Lab FS Bevel Gear w/ angle over 68 degrees

    Trying to add a bore to a part created with Gear Lab FS it generates the gear but on any gear with a bevel angle greater than 68 degrees trying various methods (extrude remove, boolean remove, or even intersect) do not seem to produce valid geometry (example) I have managed to get it to produce valid geometry using a Split…

  • Gears not meshing correctly

    This is more of a mechanics question than a CAD question I would assume, but I'm hoping someone out there can help. I did a project last year with my CAD students where they had to design, assemble, and animate a gear train. This required discussing center-to-center distances, pitch, etc. One student created the gear train…

  • Planetary Gears - Is this offset correct?

    I just used a Feature Script to generate a Planetary Gear. I also designed one by myself based on the Spur Gear Feature script. Both show the same effect. There's an offset between the Sun and Planet gear, but there's no offset between the Planet and Ring gear. SunTeeth=9, PlanetTeeth=9, RingTeeth=27, Is this correct from…

  • Do we have anything working to make bevel gears so far?

    The only script I was able to find is one that will not let you even pick a location to put these in part studio, and it's lacking teeth profile configuration. Is there any option to make such gears more conveniently than by hand?
