GT2, GT3 and GT5 Timing Gear Creator

Do you have a git location for this macro?

hi

Any idea if this is appropriate in the FreeCAD Gears workbench ?

Though I think this macro would be more appropriate in the Gear Workbench it is now part of the official repository: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-macr ... ar.FCMacro.

Would it be possible to add a feature to the macro to generate a timing belt as well? That would be really handy.

[galou_breizh]

Yes it's possible, please send a pull-request when you're done!

Is it ok to copy the source over to the gear-worbench? I would like to give it a try

I'm not the original author but according to the license LGPL-2.0, there's no issue.

Would it be possible to extend it to GT2.5 pulleys? Not very common, but some 3D printer use it.
I had a look at the code, and it seems reasonable, but I do not know where to find all the GT2.5 parameters (u, h, H, r0, r1 etc)
A picture with the parameters on it would be useful.
Thanks

Do you have a docmunet which describes the gear-profile?

Also, I wonder if the result I get from the Timing Gear Creator is correct. It seems like the arcs are not tangential constrained:
