Only gears of one module mesh.
OptionalteethHow many teeth the gear has, at least 3.
OptionalmateHow many teeth the gear it meshes with has. With shaftAngle it sets the cone the gear
rolls on.
OptionalshaftThe angle between the two gears' axes, in degrees; 90 turns a drive through a right angle.
OptionalpressureThe angle at which meshing teeth push on each other, in degrees; 20 is the common standard, and meshing gears share it.
OptionalbacklashHow much thinner each tooth is at the outer pitch circle than a tight fit, in model units.
OptionaladdendumHow far the teeth reach above the pitch cone at the back, as a share of the module.
OptionaldedendumHow deep the gaps reach below the pitch cone at the back, as a share of the module.
OptionalrootThe radius that rounds the bottom of each gap at the back, as a share of the module; it shrinks to fit a narrow gap.
OptionalfaceHow long the teeth are along the cone, from the back toward the apex, in model units; at most a third of the cone distance.
OptionalboreThe diameter of the hole along the axis, in model units; 0 leaves the gear whole. It must stay inside the roots at the front.
OptionalrotationHow far the gear is turned about its axis, in degrees. At 0 a tooth points along the frame's direction where the gear meets the frame.
OptionalframeThe apex, where the axes meet, at the origin; the axis along the normal toward the back; a tooth along the direction. Left out, the ground, facing +Y.
