App to help make working gears?

[lavachickie]

My vision may outstrip my smarts. lol

I want to make a box topper that is a flat layer that is a mix of gears that mesh and really turn together. I’ve tinkered with making my own but they never quite work out. Is there a tool online, or a tutorial that might help me? I did search Community before asking this, and find lots of things about gears, but not this…

Yes!

Fabricate your own toothed gears

I was surfing through my blog feeds and came across this web-app which I thought was interesting, especially if you’re going to make your own Planetary Gear or Tellurion planetary simulator… Background of the tool is here: And / or you can try it for yourself here: https://scottswaaley.github.io/TimingPulleyGenerator/ Also, check out this interesting tool:

I’m tired and I read “working ears”.

From a comment on the Ancillary Dial post:

@timjedwards

I used http://thecatalystis.com/gears/ to generate them. Since there’s no export feature, I used a chrome tool called SVG Crowbar (on a GitHub page, easy to find) to extract the SVG file displayed onscreen.

I’ve used this site to generate gear trains to be cut on my GF. Features direct download of SVG files, no crowbar required.
