Gear template generator feature tour

[LuiNJae]

I have to have this!

[holt0025]

I cant print.  am using chrome? any help? i press print, the print page comes up, i press ok and then nothing happens

[Matthiaswandel]

Try a different browser.

[jallenmorris1]

So why do you not have a CNC router yet (or do you?) I can only imagine the gears, and therefore the contraptions, you would create with a CNC router.

[codeartha]

i see it's made in visual basic so it's purly good i still dont know how to that with vb but i've try a lots of codes so i can generate them but not make them moven and also not make them actualisates the parameters automaticaly

[MaestroAlvis]

This is a very fun program. I'm not a wood worker at all but it is fun looking at the gears. Well done.

[popnstart]

Draw your own gears with Autocad with my procedure:

You just gotta have some practice and patience.  Youtube search: Autocad Gear procedure for internal and external gears

. While you are there consider learning to draw Std. Chain sprockets using Cad too.

[MrKaddan]

Your free gear template program can also make ring gears ! Just write in the number of teeth in - for example -18 teeth

[TheSkitzs]

on the example set og gears what was the tooth spacing ??mm

[FroggyVector]

Any chance to get a video of how you cut your gears? Would love to see an auto jig that cuts them for you. I can't begin to image the math that would go into making a jig to auto advance a blank wheel to cut out gear teeth.

[zeratul575]

this the eval is good for everything BUT printing out the gears it can check have fun and everything no printing the gears tho

might be fun to see if one can make a gear with a wobbly gear tho

[jubilado10]

Me interesa el programa, pero tengo la duda de ¿tener la versión en español, si te da las dimensiones o cotas entre centros de engranajes y poder dar los diámetros y posteriormente número de dientes?.

Buen trabajo

[cheslennox]

very informative, but if i wanted to use this programme would it be free to download or would i have to but it?

[PushyMonk]

Do you have a mac version?

[sistermaide]

Wow! words can't describe how impressed I am with your abilities! I don't have time to watch all your videos, I have a lot of things to make in my shop. ...but, I am glad Iooked at this gear video. I will see if I can figure out how to find your website to check the price of your program. Thanks!

[viniciusvba1]

Man, this program is amazing!!! Congratulations!!!

[Stephenalverez]

Wow, that is very useful (unless you build boats and such). But the wobbly gears hurts my eyes!

[JayDMDigital]

SOLD!

DXF output + CNC router + the ability to see how it'll work before I make any sawdust ... WOW! My 6yo is going to have a ball with all the gear combos. Thanks.

[Ndz3415]

Excellent idea and excellent work with the design. I like the layout a lot. Its so simple, clear and functional. Perfect. You do a lot of cool stuff.. Hope you make some money off this.

[hardwares1]

nice job. seems like your software could also be used as an "unknown pitch spur gear identifier" with just one or two more function-tweaks added. also would be SUPER if it could generate known pitch and pressure angle spur gear teeth (modular, metric, or both, better yet), then, a tightwad like me could, using a pantograph, make his OWN gear pitch identification leaves (which cost 3 or 4 times the program cost alone).

but, just as it stands NOW, all in all *very* impressive :-)

[gravityvertigo13579]

this is so much deeper than i expected... great stuff. what do you do for a living, anyway? CAD?

[russtuff]

my mind is blown.

thank you for showing this!

[JoonasD6]

Lovely software. :)

[paxcoder]

Indeed. Wish I had something similar for looking at wave propagation.

[steveg769]

Great job on the program, I really like it.

[Mirosta1504]

I know damn cheap compared to most CAD programs

[DRA5136]

Nice job on the program. Price is right as well.

Thanks

[UnstoppableSlinky]

wow, you are truly a Renaissance man

[MechanicalSculptor]

Awesome! Wish I'd had a program like this when I was drawing my gears.

[M4X1994]

5/5 enjoyed the entire video!

[Ryymin2]

Very nice. I learnt a lot from this vid, thank you!

[rollercoaster3freak]

over 10 minutes?

[M4X1994]

that is possible for partners.

[pumkinvine]

YouTube partners can upload longer than 10 min

[BernhardHofmann]

I used the this to make two gears that worked incredibly well together. This is just amazing work. I learnt a heck of a lot about different gear types and how they mesh from this program. 8/5!

[molinobeer]

@BernhardHofmann

what the name of the program?

[der8lub]

awesome! great programming!

[noobontouR1337]

Your shaft spacing at 10:20 is 13.37 :D

[TeenWoodworker]

I would have loved to see how you used th template to make to gears.

[BalloonJammer]

Wow. You need to get on one of those science/tech/engineering shows.

[miiror13]

very cool it would be fun to have a shop bought for me with everything i would possibly need nd then like $5000 for materials i would be in there all day i love working with wood but i dont get to often

[LionHug]

thank you so much.

[wvb93]

gosh that is amazing...

[vonzingyouth]

i wish i had the tools for this sort of thing being a survivalist this kind of skill would come in very handy

[vanpat1987]

You are a GOD of WOOD !

[Yeti22]

Very cool. Wooden gears are not so much my hobby but with a program like this they very well soon could be. I also admire it from a software engineers perspective too. And the most brilliant eval protection! Very well done sir.

[RDJim]

I wish I had a use for this program as I would love to support your tinkering.  Did you write the code?

[ReturnScroll]

23$? lol

[Anthonyk312]

for over a year now ive been trying to find out, "what's the least amount of teeth a gear can have and still run smoothly?"

so is it 5 teeth or what?

[Matthiaswandel]

It depends on a lot of factors. With pinwheel gearing, you can get a way with 3. Smooth running involute gears its more like 6 or 7, but real machines never go below 14. Though helical gears in power tools also often go below 14

[Anthonyk312]

someone told me it was 5, but the lowest ive seen is in clocks, where a 10 meshes with a 30, the 30 is attached to a 6, and the 6 meshes with a 24 to get a 1 to 3 ratio and then a 1 to 4 to get a total of 1 to 12 (hour hand to minute hand). ive seen this in numerous clocks. i like five because its an easy number to make ratios with.

[cometkite]

Really, really nice job. I'm duly impressed.

[ryharpon]

This is really great! I mean my Jaw was dropped for all 14 min and 13 seconds.

[deezynar]

That's a very functional program. I'd buy that if I needed gears.

[Psoewish]

Impressive, is there anything you can't do? :P

I really love the "wobbly gears" thing you put in the free version too, as it really allows you to explore the program without any limitations so you can decide if you -really- like it or not, but can't actually use it for practical solutions. Unlike most other programs that have free versions which just give you a few tools that aren't all that useful, and the only way to even try the more advanced ones is buying it ... so yay! :)

[orihow]

sure he cant save us from the commys lol

[ummmkewler]

can you have more gears?

[seriouslyWeird]

was this difficult to code?

[supermatthew222]

you just need to know trig

[seriouslyWeird]

hmm that'd be more complex trigonometry

all these round shapes and stuff. i sucked at integrals

[cometkite]

Yeah, I think you'd have to use time-parametrized x and y curves with cycloids and the such. The pin gears would be hard enough, but the involute ones would be really tricky I think.  Also, I have no idea how you would do the "wobbly" thing.

[Danny77uk]

Ring gear - is that the same as a planetary gear? And can you have multiple gears within the ring?

[web4deb]

Impressive!

[TofuPepper]

This program looks very good, in my woodshop class i was trying to make gears so that i could connect them perpendicularly to make the arms of a robot move if i were to put a dowel at the back. I was estimating the size teeth of the gears and being an 8th Grader I guessed it turned out ok but when i put everything together the arms moved up and down slightly but i guessed it was ok. The whole contraption was basically like the contraption from the original Bionicle toys.

[Dafidd]

wow nice programming :D thought you were only a hands on guy not even a programmer ^_^

[jonnosferatu]

That's got to be just about the cleverest means of eval protection I've ever seen.

[Matthiaswandel]

Exactly. With the program resizable and big monitors, it wasn't enough to restrict printing because people could just take screenshots to get the shape out :)

If you don't want to buy it, you can always use my free online gear template genrator, but that one isn't quite as powerful.

[halfmumi]

@Matthiaswandel any free student versions of it? =)

[poja82]

very good job, and is a fairprice soft, not very expensive, but not a gift neither, thank you for your job!

[randomviewer896]

could you somehow make this into a screensaver?

[psychofish25]

you're a real jack of all trades. can I ask what you made this in?

[Hrelling]

It's the Gear Template Generator, you can download the exe 'free' version of it from the link he posted in the description.

[JereHakala]

@Hrelling He asked what he made on it, erm like on which language he wrote it, etc.

[psychofish25]

@Hrelling yes im aware, but how did he code this?

[Flym0nkey]

I think visual basic, that's how it looks?

[Matthiaswandel]

Its written in C# using Microsoft visual stuido 2005.
