I have a work around for the Lantern Pinion problem . I create the Lantern Pinion with no spokes and saved the Gcode
Then i create a Spur gear the same diameter as the  Lantern Pinion with the spoke pattern i want and save the Gcode.
I then edit the Gcode of the Lantern Pinion inserting the spoke information from the Spur gear Gcode
It worked for me

I tried the fix , only one spoke is still  being created.  I will wait  for the new module to replace lanterns and pinions to be released
Thank you

Hi J:

  I just uplaoded a fix that may help, I did fiund another problem in the old extruder. I cant ensure it will generate all types
of spokes, its errors like that one that necessitated the recode of the program currently underway. Sorry for the bug,m I kow its annoying,
hopefully the new version 4.92 will fix it, if not the new module to replace lanterns and pinions is likely about 1-2 months away..

when i try to create a lantern pinion with 3 circle1 spokes it only creates 1 spoke
