    absolute hero! And a free version?! man. You're a national treasure
  • @kimbrandwijk
    Amazing addon, and I love how you're incorporating user feedback in it to drive it to even further heights! Looking forward to what's coming.
  • @macnavi
    Purchased it a few weeks ago. Very happy you made it. One thing: In this video you speak about "worm gear" while you are actually talking about a worm. A worm gear is a sprocket with angled teeth, that is being driven by the worm. The angle of the teeth of the worm gear have the same angle as the blades of the worm.
  • @justcraziii
    Saw the $8 minimum, said naw, saw the suggested $15 monimum, said naw. So I upped it to $25 USD and said, "Oh heck ya" Huge thanks for making this! I could have spent hundreds on other software systems to have similar or worse ease of use for developing gears, but you sir are a champ. I spent less and get access to parametric gears for way less hassle.
  • @brentduncan8742
    Just bought. I've been looking all day for some decent gear creation software, and here we are! Thanks a bunch and enjoy your day!
  • Thank you so much for continuing to put out amazing content. I dont think youre currently receiving proper recognition but I know for a fact, You will soon! 10/10
  • @gerseyben4181
    Absolutely great addon mate, keep up the good work! Can't wait to see these gears in motion 👌
  • @noobertime
    Absolutely brilliant, just gave this a test run and it might finally allow me to move all my 3D CAD design to Blender. I've been trying to move to a fully open source design toolchain and 3D CAD is the last thing holding me back. What's even better is your plugin has even more features than the gear plugins I was using in my other CAD soft.
  • @makerz4247
    This is great timing. I was just looking for something like this and you posted the video 3 hours ago. Awesome work
  • @evanlane1690
    Also, you'll want to include other teeth profiles. GT2 and MXL are very often used for timing belts on 3D printers, so you'll definitely want those included at a minimum.
  • Awesome! I remember gear formulas, you done some great work here. Placing my order now, Thank you!!
  • @Maker Tales - You are the best ! I just bought it! Supersuseful addon!!
  • @jedemopro
    Really interesting and powerful Addon. Thanks a lot!!!
  • You are doing really great stuff! Going to buy this right now! Thank you!
  • @aidanbowen9052
    Great add-on and some really exciting developments in the pipeline. As for presets, as a lover of Lego Technic, how about a library of the full range of their gears?
  • Looks good, now you need the option to add a captive nut, and timing pulleys
  • Pure genius! Very complicated programming involved, I am sure! Keep up the good work! As for what to use catalog or 3d printing, I would suggest both. Isn't there a way to create an algorithm to adjust a gear for 3d printing or maybe a separate program? Just a thought.
  • Exactly what I was looking for. If I get a lot of use out of it, which is likely, I will make a donation.
  • @paul-thys
    I get random chunks missing all over the teeth when I use it. On all the gears rack, spur ect. Any advice?
