OPENSCAD GEAR LIBRARY HOW TO

I've studied the gear() code and done a lot of Google search for terms. Thanks for all the help! Perhaps this is the wrong forum or I am pushing my luck, but you have been so helpful that I'll ask a bit more. Here it is with the circular_pitch set to 120 and circles=8 : I'm using a version of this gear file that cuts tear drops out instead. In order to speed up the print and make the gear lighter, you can cut circles out of it. Hub_thickness = nut_trap_thickness+ nut_trap_depth, (Or in this case, put this code into OpenScad and make sure you have the /inc/ directory populated with the right files) And then tell OpenScad to render the objects created by your source. The good news is you are trying to use a fully debugged and working module.

OPENSCAD GEAR LIBRARY HOW TO

If anyone can direct me to a link where these terms will be explained, I'd be most grateful.The easiest thing to do is get OpenScad installed and figure out how to pull files into it. I used a text editor to study the gear code and I didn't see any embedded documentation or supplemental doc files. There seems to be a lot of confusion about size units et cetera. I ran into numerous threads in which people were guessing and getting weird results. So I've got to find a good reference for these values, especially in the context of the gear code.

But things like 'circular pitch' and 'circles' are meaningless to me.
