It's far from "finished", but as my first attempt at a plugin, it's pretty cool, and it works. It is pretty fast and parameters allow for a huge range of custom dimensions. This first version of SPGears will create spur, helical, bevel, and beveled helical gears with involute tooth profiles. This tool works well for drawing gears in static model too! ** Note: Gears are designed to work with SP, but the tool does not require SP to work in static models. For SP users, gears are 'ready-made' objects, so you only need to add a hinge or motor joint and you're done. This is a really great tool for creating custom gears in both static and SketchyPhysics (SP) models. # Description : This file draws various types of gears with involute # IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A # OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE # THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS # above copyright notice appear in all copies. # any purpose and without fee is hereby granted, provided that the # Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software for

INVOLUTE GEAR PLUGIN SKETCHUP MAKE UPDATE
Probably not a bad thing, especially since SU 2015 and the unofficial SP v3.5 update were recently released. I was hoping it would only need some tweaks, but to fix the accuracy problems it's turning into a ground-up rewrite. 2014, I am actively (though slowly) working on version 2. Not smooth - Sketchup does not use "true" arcsĪs of Nov.Not completely accurate - check fit (in SketchUp) before you print!.So far, these are known issues with the plug-in: However, I appreciate your feedback regarding 3D printing issues and it's all going into the bucket for the (mythical see "unicorn farting rainbows") version 2. This was never intended for use outside of drawn models. SPGears_screenshot.png 3D PRINTERS - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
