And my song - from beginning to end
I've found again in a heart of a friend!

B I N G O !

Ahh, fewer teeth you mean.. Size of teeth

Here you go..

Well I couldn't manage to read .stl ((((

Concerning to scaling - I think it wouldn't help cause I don't need to enlarge the WHOLE wheel but its COGS (teeth) only. In order to make the model "more wooden like exterior". Like this. So I suspect that it would be completely new file, recalculated by your software. So I mean the same wheels' sizes with cogs (teeth) enlarged twice. If it's possible, of course.

You can scale them if you wish, so long as you scale both equally. But heres
a couple of larger ones..

Art, I don't want to be impudent, but...

Would you please to reduce the number of teeth in favour to their size? I mean that 4.5 mm of height for WOODEN (apple tree) coge is a bit smaller than I want...

Would you please to make them of 8 .. 10 mm in their height? I feel terrible sorry for I haven't specified the exact sizes from the very beginning...

Art...

Amaizing.

That was exactly I wanted. )) I think my best "thank you" will be soonest presentation of my project's rude physical expression RIGHT HERE. Based upon your kindest and absolutely free samples!

TO BE CONTINUED.

ps: My KOMPAS understood .dxf just perfectly... I didn't know it to be such a smart thing... o_0

That means I'm happy now just like a puppie. Thank you! See you soon!

Hi :

Well, I dont do PDF's but you should be able to find a connverter. (Id check with the laser people, unusual
to see a laser that wont take DXF's....

  Alos, I dont convert lines to curves, points are more accurate, so GM stys in points..

But, heres a triangle running on a square...

Art

Thanks a lot Art! ))

But after almost sleepless night of mindstorming )) I came to conclusion that pair of DIFFERENT (in size) SQUARE cogwheels working in one gear, with each other - is absolutely impossible option. Only equal in size, shape and cogs' number will run properly. Two specimens of the same square wheel.

I.e. - ordinary ROUND cogwheels only, not square, can compose cogwheeled reductor or multiplicator. ((

And I will be really happy, if I'm wrong...

All in all - let me convey to you the set of local lasershop's requirements:

- the file(s) must be in .pdf (at least in .cdr);
- all objects are converted in curves;
- wireframe mode test must be applied (no excessive overlaid elements found);
- no fillings, no pourings
- all lines are hairlines (minimum thickness)

Thank you! ))

No, problem, Ill post a couple in a bit...

Hi guys!

I'm just not sure if it will be useful for my nearest future' project so I can't afford full license of commercial gear making CAD software FOR NOW. Now I just like to ask if someone of you can make for me a (free) sample - a CAD file of cogwheeled gear consists of two SQUARE cogwheels (perhaps even TWO files, not one) which quantities of teeth relate as 1/2, in order to cut them out on laser plotter? Square is about 50 mm of pinion and 100 mm of driven gear.

Thank you!
