Show HN: Free and local browser tool for designing gear models for 3D printing (gears.dmtrkovalenko.dev)

This looks awesome - my son loves gears, and my wife and I have been talking about buying him a 3D printer soon. Thank you!

Oh nice! I might use this.

I'm using Free Cad's Gear Workbench plugin at the moment. It's okay, but Free Cad kinda sucks.

You thinking about adding other gear types like bevel gears and gear racks?

This is so cool! I'll be using this when I need to generate gears. How is the fitment of the interfacing of the gears after printing? What libraries did you use to build this, too?

It would be nice to have a way to output a corresponding gear. I can make a gear with small teeth with a wide gap between them, but the same gear wouldn't really work to engage with that gear, on the other gear the teeth would need to fill the wide gap of the first gear.

This is great! Any chance you could add STEP export also? It would facilitate importing into CAD software to customize the gear, eg to add a custom hub.

This is funny! Google AI Studio generated the exact same layout with exact same colors for my 3D app that I'm working on.

This looks great on a handset. It’s self-contained and elegant. Great job!
