geometry stress test - spherical gear

Let's give FreeCAD a bit of a stress test, shall we ?

objective: re-create the geometry of the spherical gear ball thing seen in this lovely gif right here:

I couldn't make it lol
I'm curious to see whether anyone can re-create it

I have a sector which I want to subtractively sweep to a vertical rectangle. if I set the secor angle to 20 degrees it works just as expected. If I set it to 10 degrees this happens.

FC Forum topics icons

Not talking about FC itself,but about the forum (we're gettin really meta here aren't we ?) Wouldn't it be great if we could add icons on topics or if not topics, at least boards.

Sketcher construction lines

Can we please get rid of that awful deep blue color for construction lines ?
