Interesting video! Just one thought: you guessed 11.3 degrees for turning the smaller gear, but it seemed clear to me that it needs to turn exactly half a tooth. There's 16 teeth, so half a tooth is 360°/16/2 = 11.25°, which seems to agree with your guess/experiment :)

@@Flaviongas If two gears' teeth overlap head-on exactly, it's always half a tooth you need to rotate by. That brings a gap to exactly where a tooth used to be.
I always recommend this channel to my beginner friends, really love it. It will further good if you make car and aircraft parts in your tutorial.Thank you
An inspiration to watch this. The best I have seen on both Spur Gears and Motion Links.
I love your videos and teaching style!! It's my favorite fusion tutorial on KZread!
Thanks again Kevin. Yet another excellent tutorial. I hadn't looked at the Add-Ins before but I'm interested in learning more And I really appreciate how you present these topics in a clear, comprehensive and easy to digest way.

Thanks, Airwaves Ted! There are several add-ins and scripts that are worth checking out. I will probably start to cover a few more of them (At least the ones I use regularly)...except some of them don't need a full-on video. Cheers, Kevin :)
Finally... got a working design after following a lot of lesser instructions. I did have a problem using the gear's parameter circle as an offset. It was greyed out for the selection. Instead, I just drew some circles from the center and followed those with spokes. Thanks, Kevin. Irv in Florida
definitely more gears! Fantastic vids Kevin
Hey Kevin! I did episode 1-11 on your Skillshare series and while i haven't had time to continue further yet i have become an absolute pro designing for my 3d printer! Ok, not absolute pro but i can basically make anything i can think up. The hardest part is constraints. I'll have watched those episodes a few times and need a few more.. :) Anyway, thanks for the teaching. 3d-printing has become a huge part of my free time now. The best parts i've made is to make connectors between hoses and wood working machines. Inside and outside spirals to match the hoses and then different friction fits for the machines. I carry a calipher wherever i go now :D Thank you!!

This was the second tutorial I watched. I am attempting to work along with you as you build the project. This was a challenge toggling back and forth between youtube and fusion. I'm certainly going to do this one again, hopefully I can set up with two computers. I really enjoy your approach and how you are explaining as you go. It is certainly a stretch for me, but, I will keep plodding along.

It is a great tutorial. I am a C++ programmer. I have two questions for you: 1) can the C++ source code availible for the gear created? 2) do you have a tutorial for the planetary gear? Thanks alot.
Thanks for useful video.
Hi Kevin, The points that the gears rotate (spin) about, are those secured when printed out? I am trying to make something that involves one gear being fixed and the smaller one rotating around it. I am thinking of some type of arm to accomplish this. If you know of any simpler more efficient ways to do this, any help would be appreciated.
Another excellent video.

Great video once again. I have been struggling with joints and motion this last week by coincidence so this is timely and helpful. I'm working on some hinges and wonder if you could do a tutorial on that maybe? I'm trying to raise a platform keeping it horizontal to the ground whilst tilting a cover that sits over it to 90 degrees (ie horizontal to vertical). Would make a good exercise in joints and motion.... What do you think Kevin?

Great video Kevin really useful. BTW, regarding the rotation of the small gear to bring the teeth in line: Would it be calculatable by the simple formula (360/ 2 x NoOfTeeth) = (360/64) = 11.25 ?
@ProductDesignOnline
4 жыл бұрын
Hi, Roger. That should be it. Depending on the number of teeth and how the gear generator places it... sometimes the gears will not need to be rotated. The second gear will just need moved to the right. Cheers, Kevin :)

I was having issues with this part and realized I needed to click on the face of the body rather than the orange plane, this allowed the offset to expand from the body instead of the tops of the risers. Hope this helps someone.
