Re: Using the Spur Gears featurescript
The term "normal module" and "transverse module" can be a bit confusing, and I think NeilCooke is actually wrong above. The problem is with straight spur gears "normal module" and "transverse module" are the same, and are often called just "module" or "normal module". But in a helical gear, "transverse module" is… -
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… -
New Custom Feature: Standard Bearing
I needed to chuck an MR63 bearing into a project I was working on, and got a little sidetracked. Built a custom feature to generate deep groove bearings for basically all ISO standard sizes. Includes the following bearing families: 6000 series 160 series MR series MF series 600 series F600 series R series FR series in… -
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… -
Helical Planetary Gears using Planetary Gears feature?
Is there a way to generate helical planetary gear sets with the planetary gear feature script? I can generate helical spur gears, but there does not seem to be a similar function for planetary gears. Any tips? -
Re: Variables and Equations based Parametric Modeling Vs. FeatureScript
I don't have any doubts about the robustness of the FeatureScript and I get how it works as an insertable feature within a part studio. I am trying to compare it to my ability to create a part file in Solidworks, link a bunch of sketch dimensions and feature parameters to Global Variables and Equations and save it off as a… -
Re: cannot find a good worm gear featurescript
Envolepe3d is not a specific feature for making worm gears or any king of gears, it is a generic feature to create envelope geometry, and gears of all kinds is just a single case of the envelopes. In the document where you found that feature should be configured part studios, which create a few types of gears and worm gear… -
Re: Having the legend "question" above the box where you want a title is .... not good.
k, I misread the Solidworks part , I didn't realize you were quoting someone else. Side note: forums have this handy method for showing when you are quoting someone that can help avoid this sort of confusion, I would have thought a programmer/UI designer harping on clarity and usability would be actually use these, but I… -
How can i creat a mate relation between a spur gear and a stationary internal gear?
Hello! I am fairly new to Onshape and in CAD design in general. I am making a project wherein the rotational motion of the swing door is converted to a one way rotation of a generator shaft. In order to do this, I place a stationary internal gear at the top of the door with its center aligning with the axis of rotation of… -
Help me design an Astrié Grain Mill !
Help needed! I am a mechanical engineer with a problem, when I do something I want to do it right, with purpose and in the best way possible. And the more I dig into a problem, or challenge, the more I discover things are not as simple as they seemed. I've been making bread at home for about 10 years now but only recently…
