This part is generated from a hand-written, print-tested OpenSCAD module — the same numbers always produce the same geometry. It is not an AI guess, and it does not cost a credit. Before a load-bearing or fit-critical print, check it against our design guide for wall thickness, overhangs and orientation.

Print notes for this part

  • A matched pair needs cone angles that sum to the shaft angle between them — two gears at 45° meet a 90° corner; unequal angles are for unequal shaft angles, not a mismatch to avoid.
  • The cone face is the hardest surface on this part to print clean — expect visible layer stepping on the tooth flanks near the small end, more so at low cone_angle values.
  • This is a functional gear form, not a jewellery-grade one — treat it as a prototype or low-load mechanism piece rather than a precision drivetrain part.
