As a self-taught "Pretengineer," I'm often making it up as I go. It is pivotal that I find and continually consume GOOD information, and I must say that you, Sir, are an absolute gem and a fantastic teacher to boot. I owe you, Destin, StuffMadeHere, ThisOldTony, MakersMuse, PunishedProps, and Blondihacks for a large portion of my "skills" and inspirations. Thank you for everything you do, Jeremy. 💜

@lady_draguliana784 you got me on the last two. Going to check them out now!

You've heard the adage "Is the coffee cup half full or half empty?" An engineer looks at the cup and says "That cup is twice as big as it needs to be."

Drawing gears can intimidate even an experienced hobbiest. This was like going back to school. Great video!

Your videos are always great! Always have great, useful information!

Thank you for making this! Designing and fabricating gears is a black art. So much of it is tribal knowledge dispersed across dozens of industries and thousands of institutions.

You're amazing. Think about it though. It's even more amazing how the people in the 1800's designed locomotives, and automobile parts later, without access to CAD tools. It's even more mind boggling than this video, how they could do so much with so little. Jayman...

NASA went to space without CAD. Bombers, fighter jets, and aircraft carriers all created around WW2 (1940's) before CAD or calculators. The SR71 (supersonic jet) was created before CAD. The level of technology all done before computers and electrical parts that automate processes and decisions is truly astonishing.

Awesome job, Jeremy! Fantastic work! I can't wait to see the next installment for this series.

Thank you so much Jeremy. This resource is absolutely invaluable. You're a blessing!

best explanation as always , thank you

Outstanding Jeremy!

Interesting video with info I will probably use at some point in my 3D printing future. Thank you.

Hi Jeremy, greetings from India. ❤. Very interesting content bro. Keep it up! 💯💯

Great video, was great to see you at maker central, I was a bit in awe , sorry I called you that engineer guy, I did know your name lol

Shout out to Mattias Wandel's gear template generator. There's a free online version or you can support him by buying the $26 Windows program that supports more complex gears.

Speaking of that CNC table saw, have you ever considered selling plans for that? That project is rent free in my mind all the time.

Creative video, thank you :)

can't wait for the next video ;) if you had any doubt, I'm hooked ;)

LOTS OF projects use beaded ball chain as it can change directions. Could you show how to design a driver pulley using SolidWorks?

Lovely.

Thankfully today there are a number of websites that will figure out some of this stuff for you. When l was having to cut gears for repair parts helical gears were a pain. Helicals require special gear ratios to cut on gear hobbers. Both for the indexing and feed. Depending on helix direction and if the hob is a RH or LH lead the cutter is either advancing or retarding in relation to the work.

A video I will marinate in. Thanks

You could make your own Antikythera Mechanism as a demo project!

FreeCAD has a pretty good gear workbench.

For Blender there's a good plugin called PrecisionGears. The free version only generates basic spur gears, but that's all I need. If I want helical twist I just do it by extruding and rotating repeatedly.

That's what i use too! I have a project that needed a gear train and i thought it would be a great idea to do my first one as a planetary set with herring bone teeth. I'm still working on it but the only thing holding me back is this being my first ever project like this 😅. Blender's mad useful for those of us with no budget.

Just remember for the same number of teeth a helical gear is larger than the spur gear. For DP gears Number of teeth + 2/DP. A 40 tooth 10 DP is 4.2". A helical is 40/10 x Cosine of the Helix Angle + 2/DP.

Hi Jeremy, the video was great. Just curious if you could recommend a good service for ordering gears in bulk?

Hi Jeremy, great video. I have been reading up on spur gears and I have a question. Is the pressure angle computed or chosen?

4 minutes in. Like 18. Nice to see this one.

Maybe you could talk about the engineering the tooth shape of the gears for both gear mesh and sprocket to chain.

That would truly be digging into the nerdy details. LOL Generally, IMO if someone has the need to do that they likely also have the background knowledge telling them why they would want to do that. I am not sure this would be helpful to enough people to make it. But it is interesting I agree.

@@JeremyFieldingSr Recently, I was designing a chain driven system with sprockets, and after years realized the why the arc of the teeth is why it is. Also, I found a great animation of involute gearing and had a eureka moment about the 'line of action', being tangent to the addendum and the dedendum circles. Tec-Science has a great page on involute gears and how an 'involute' can be generated with a string. Maybe too nerdy for here but helped me. Even my non-engineer wife loves your vids 🙂

That's so cool, i learned things i didn't even know existed. I'd like to build a gear oil pump which can be slow ltrs per minute but high psi for moving viscous waste vegetable oil through to a centrifuge at about 90-100 psi. I've got a design id like to do similar of that is a small gear oil pump thats proven really reliable but make it much bigger same proportions, not really sure how to go about it all. Would the program say if it will work or have to be tested in real life if it works good?

Have you ever looked into stan myers water engine?

My main question on the maker version of solidworks.... Can it math better than fusion? Because fusion just falls apart more and more with every curve you use. Also, next time you should turn off the ceiling fan, was super distracting, lol.

when designing compact and very low profile gears or mechanisms, what rules of thumb would you use to determine materials minimum useful thickness, I know the more expensive Cad software have stress simulations and such, but that's beyond me.

Thanks again for making this EE less dumb!

😇

Okay but does anyone know what the effect is for changing the pressure angle? I'm a studying grad MechE and I don't even know what it is. Great video by the way!

Toolbox is a separate license unfortunately so you need to make sure you have that add on

Can the maker version of Solidworks import a .STP file? My particular workflow imports entire PCB projects into Fusion 360, using .STP files.

$38 is a lot cheaper than the typical 10k+ for Solidworks. It's as though they're finally realizing that they need to compete with the other CAD tools on the market. I've lost all respect for SW due to their lack of innovation over the years but maybe this means they're starting to move in the right direction.

It’s working for me as well. Definitely try another browser or device, or separate network. I find that sometimes certain promotional things won’t work for me at home because I’m running PiHole and it sees the redirects as suspicious.

Think title is a bit off as this is about designing gears not making them. Making is the physical act of creating something.

I appreciate the video, but I just can't deal with a subscription for a product. A subscription for a program is just not somthing I will ever do.

You are in for a frustrating life my friend LOL. I only say this because 4-5 years ago I felt like you. I said “Why is everyone switching to subscription services. I won’t don’t that” then I realized everyone has switched to subscription services. It is what it is. 😀 Seriously I understand how you feel. But all the good stuff is behind a subscription service now. SolidWorks is one of the few programs I appreciate frequent improvements to. They are the best in my opinion. It’s just part of how they can keep things updated and functional long after you started using it. The alternative is software that eventually stops working because it is not supported anymore

It'd be cool of you removed all them plastic bins behind you and painted the light blue face the same color blue as everything else.
