Bevel gear - module/script/tutorial

[mafer78]

Hello Community,
I've need to build a Bevel gear but I'm not found more information.

Do you know if exist an extension/module and/or py script or tutorial?

If no, could someone can help me to create this bevel gear?

I've already search on google but there is only a video on youtube of chinese and is not clear at all.

Note: my version of freecad is 0.15 - 4671

Use the part design involute gear tool to specify the gear's base profile parameters, scale a coaxial clone that isn't on the same workplane in x and y, with a and use them as profiles to loft between.

I am new to FreeCAD too. I tried the loft tool, the result gear is twisted. You may try the gear workbench,

Shouldn't come out twisted unless you instructed FreeCAD to do so / didn't perform the task correctly.

You don't have to modify what I did, just create the gear size you wish to have at the base, then Draft Clone it. With the Clone, any changes you make to the original, like number of teeth, module size, pressure angle will be automatically updated in the Clone. Once you have the Clone, you can scale it through the Scale entries its data tab and position it's height with Placement. Then Part Loft between the two. It's that easy.

Give it a try.

I suspect that Marks method doesn't produce correct tooth profile. But it is probably good enough for FFF 3d printing.
