History

This is a derivative work of Gear Profile Generator by msruggles.

Description

This uses the spreadsheet from thingiverse.com/thing:7881 as a design table for a Solidworks part. Tested from 3 to 100 teeth at pressure angles of 14.5, 20 and 25deg. Currently only does straight spur gears, but it's really easy in Sldwrks to make an internal or helical gear.

I realize only a minority of people on this site use Solidworks. I use it a lot, and I'm all that matters in the end :)

Made in Sldwrks 2011. If you need a different version let me know.

Add helical and internal/external option.
Add limits to inputs (idiot proofing)
Add sketch of pitch diameter (for mounting distance)

Instructions

Open the part and edit the design table where you can change the module, number of teeth, pressure angle and profile offset (first 4 properties in the table). You can mess with more properties (addendum, dedendum, etc.) in the 'Calc' tab in the design table.
