Add internal option for gear()

Open hyperair opened this issue 10 years ago • 0 comments

This option allows for the generation of internal spur gears. Internal mode adapts the meanings of several options for use on internal gears:

  • backlash is negated for larger teeth, as we're subtracting the gear from a cylinder.
  • clearance is added to the addendum instead of dedendum, which pushes out the outer circle instead of pushing in the root circle.
  • rim_width is added to outer_radius in order to get the containing cylinder's radius.
  • flat renders the gear shape in 2d, ready for extrusion and subtraction.
