See if this works

Havng somes issues with 3D DXF output for herringbone gears. The contours add an extra 2 lines & breaks (see picture) where the lines hit the contour the root length is different to all the other root lengths, the break adds an extra 0.03 in my case.

OK here's the finished article

Looking good you CNCing the gears?

Here s vid of one of the projects I've been working on called Dextrose. All the gears are laser cut with a 35deg pressure angle which allows smooth running (although the DXFs have to be trimmed for overlap). The whole head rotaion is a 2 gear chain, the neck is 4 gear chain giving the head side to ...

Some work I've been doing on a mechanical head. Have 2 more gear chains to put in so will post a follow up when they're done.

Yes using the latest version.

Top right pinion then topleft rolled off top right then bottom one rolled off top right. Weirldy I cant replicate the error now!

Yeah whenever I try to put a second wheel down (the middle gear being the pinion)  I get a tooth clash



This example where the gears are at 90 deg to each other

Given that the 3 gear in the picture are the same is it possible in Georotic to place the gears with a mirrored symmetry?
