Thank you so much? I was having trouble using the "canned" "useful gear" provided by a Tinkercad user. Your method is so quick and easy, I will use it instead of fiddling with the controls for the provided gear. Blessings for being willing to share your knowledge and expertise.
Thank You for this. I used your method and adapted it to make a 29 tooth gear to replace one in the main brush gearbox of my robot vacuum cleaner. It worked like a charm! If anyone is interested how: rotation angle = 360/29 = 12.414 , I duplicated all the way around and then deleted every second tooth.
this is crazy. we are here to see how to build a gear and he explaind what cases we might need gears... dude, If Im here, it means I already need the gear and I know where I need it. Come on...
I found the video very helpful and learned a lot. It just could have started a little faster with regards to making the gears. Still, the tips I learned are wonderful 👍
I am an avid TinkerCad-er and never knew about the CTRL-D. I always cut and paste. Thanks for the tip and this great video! It had exactly what I was looking for my project.
Excellent lesson! In addition to the Sprocket, I would like to make a Rack to lower and raise the drill bit of a Bench Drill. However, I still need the Crank to operate the Sprocket. Are these 1mm teeth strong enough to withstand the force? Thanks
Very clever. Gears can be rather complicated, as you said I have done it the hard way, and now I am learning about 3D. I will try your method. Thanks. David, from Maryland.
Interesting. You might explore the spur gear geometry as it has essentially no friction between gear teeth. These are close, but look like there would be rubbing between surfases as the gears mesh. Thanks for the demo.
Thanks!!! I've got an idea to try and use this to also make a fan gear. I'm making a miniature Fedelcode Model 5 with a working damper, and needed to make gears to operate the siren's damper.
I’ve been using Tinkercad for only two days. I’d use Inkscape to generate the gear with the integrated tool, export to SVG, import here, done. It would be perfect, too
I’m recycling plastic to make my on surfboard fins and I thought it would be hard to create my own CNC mould designs. Your epic dude and I’m going to do it myself. Thanks
THANK YOU!!! 😊 I am working on a stationary turbine for a dust separator. I have been having a terrible time trying to duplicate the blade and position them. I used a corner pipe to create the blade. Any suggestions welcomed.
Brilliant! I used this tiurorial to make some GT2 pulleys - its a great technique as it alows complete control over the tooth profile. for 2mm GT2 pulleys diameter(mm)=2*number of teeth/pi...with that simple formula everything else works fine...
Nice tutorial on gears. I would like to increase the size of a half sprocket without changing the size of my teeth. The half sprocket needs to fit over a 80mm tube but at the moment it is a little too small to fit. When I increase it's size to fit the 80mm tube, the teeth size also increase and then sprocket teeth doesn't fit my chain. Can you guide me to how I can do this?
Tinkercad has 2 gear profiles as "primitives" (Basic shapes) one has an involute gear profile with adjustable pressure angle, the other has a circular profile with adjustable 'slop'.
Is this Software appropriate to design little devices.. simple levers, and rockers, springs and gears? I need to make Virtual machines.. for home projects.. i need the most simple easy to use.. virtual workshop.
Hey nice video. I haven’t seen how you would make a project with a thin wall. Let’s say the letter M with a 2.5 mm wall thickness. Any suggestions. Thanks, Bltoth
Thank you!! I am going to build a more complex crown gear later. But this is exactly the information I was looking for just to get started. Thanks again and also enlightening me with "crtl + D"
just done an intro to tinker cad at my local library, and that video was great, I am into mechanical things too. you show male gears, ie: with the teeth on the outside, how do you do female gears?, ie: the crown gear in an automatic transmission (planetary gears).
andy van the word you are looking for is "ring" gear or "internal" Seems to me you would make a cylinder and use a smaller cylinder to punch a hole in the first...then place your teeth on the inside. Thank you for the question, without it I would not have had to come up with an answer.
I have made some insane vortex blades on tinker . But now tinker is no longer working right on windows edge . May have to dump them if they dont fix the problem soon
I do have one for turning 2D images into 3D objects in Tinkercad, but nothing specifically Lithophane. What are you wanting to learn with that? Something with light shining through?
+Chaos Core Tech Just maybe some tips and tricks on how to make them instead of guessing. I've made a couple and they are just ok. I've seen others made and they seem so much better. I'm rather new to 3D printing.
Cool tips! Just watched a couple of your videos, you just got another subscriber. I'm new to tinkercad and I'm struggling with making a partial hole in an STL file to add a magnet to the project. Playing with meshmixer it's a Boolean expression or something like that. I haven't achieved it in tinkercad. I found team logo's or other designs that I'd like to insert a magnet in them. Getting it centered on the bottom side and not have it come all the way through. Say the button magnet is 3mm and say it's height is 2mm. Do you make the cylinder 3mm round, 4 mm tall to all it to sink below the work plane?
I appreciate your videos; am still trying to find out how to rotate a 2D image into a 3D model; i.e. if I drew the letter C on a piece of paper and scanned it into TinkerCAD, how might I rotate that 2D curve C into a torus?
Hi Patrick! I think that is a little too advanced for Tinkercad. They don't have any revolve or sketch functionality. I would recommend looking into Fusion 360. It's pretty simple to get the hang of but it's a lot more powerful than Tinkercad and it has several features that could help out with something like that. Hope that helps!
Convert the 2d image into a vector svg file. You can then import the image into another free program like blender. In blender you can have the image extruded along a path, say a circle. This should accomplish what you need.
Hi and thanks for your videos, they have help me alot... Can you help me out with something, i can't seem to find a way to do something... I can not find a way to maniulate or control the length of a shape, so for example if a grab a cube and i want to make the front face one length and the back a different one!?. I hope i make sense.
Very nice video indeed! I learned a lot from it! Can you do a video on how to make Metric bolts and nuts in Tinkercad? I observed that there was a "ISO metric threads" in the Tinkercad Shape Generator section on older versions, but it is gone on the new version I downloaded. Thanks a million!
Hay, love the gears, Just wondering if there is a more accurate way of aligning the teeth without centering it in the grid? if you know of another can you show us?
+Calvin Chee Yes actually, since I made this I learned to use the align tool up in the top right area next to mirror. You can click that and select 2 objects. Then you can click what line you want to align them to. It'll allow you to center the pegs directly with the cylinder.
My crazy idea is to make a gear necklace where you have 3 gears inside a heart shaped necklace. You would use a dog tag chain that would go between the gears.
Thanks for the video on making gears it was very informative. I only been using tinkercad for a couple of weeks and my most difficult issues are making curves like for example french curves or sine wave style shapes. Could you show a video on how to use tinkercad to design an object that has flowing up and down curves and also how to put a rounded brim on a curved surface? Thanks and I appreciate all your efforts!
Great video. I learned a lot! I will be looking for others you have made. I need to figure out how to use the ruler tool. I click on it and I don't know what I am looking at or how to "measure" anything specific in the print.
Haha, yes; they're called teeth! And a cog is the actual gear. It's great that you curved the faces of the teeth 'cos that helps with the smoothness you testify to. Next, Autodesk should program a whole gear making module that'll do all the manual steps, only asking what space the gears will need to fit into, shaft size, and ratios desired. It could even adjust everything as we drag output shafts to aim in in a different direction. For example, we'd sketch or import a scan of a bicycle, showing mainly the wheels and the axis of the pedal crank. We'd tag them as driver and driven. Tinkercad would do the rest and we could drag pedals forward or backward and the gear system would adjust, with drive chains or belts also in the mix. I think this will accelerate inventiveness by removing the middleman obstacle: difficult drafting. Tinkercad is to machine design what Arduino is to digital controllers!
hi there chaos, thanks for getting me started on the gears! i think you need to specify that the gear ratio is based on the pitch diameter, not the diameter of the circle you created? this means you add a full tooth length to the diameter.
Thank you so much? I was having trouble using the "canned" "useful gear" provided by a Tinkercad user. Your method is so quick and easy, I will use it instead of fiddling with the controls for the provided gear. Blessings for being willing to share your knowledge and expertise.
I have just recently discovered Tinkercad. This particular video has opened up a whole new world to me. THANK YOU !
Wow, this was a million times easier than I expected. Thank you for the straight to the point tutorial 🙏

Wooaoaaaahhhhh! That whole "tinkered will duplicate the object(s) and keep applying the effect" thing seriously just blew my mind
Thanks for the tutorial, straight to the point and easy to follow. Planning to use the technique to make an orrery and this video is really helpful.

Wow, how simple. Thanks for this cool hint, mate!
how will deal if gear is custom sized or teeth are odd numbers also how we will understand how much dia for custom sized gear?

thats a mint skill just wat i needed to learn 4 a new project
It is interesting to see a slightly different method to create those gears then I chose:)
at 7:09 how do you slide your view over to the right?
this is 5 yrs ago so its definitely gonna be different

Thank you sir. I benefit a lot from this video
Would like a video on rc hydraulics pumps and gears etc??
How could I down load Tinker Cad to practice ? Please, show the webste to down load - Thank you
I have made some insane vortex blades on tinker . But now tinker is no longer working right on windows edge . May have to dump them if they dont fix the problem soon
I was wondering if you had a Tinkercad Lithophane how to? And if not, could you do one please? That would be awesome!

I'm trying to make a propeller wing but it won't line up the last blade is off in angle.
I suggest that you cut the first several minutes and get to the project. That was outstanding. But don't want to wait so long to get there.

Can you do a tutorial on making beveled gears?
how did u get .5 in the first spike of the gear
This is what I need! Thanks for the video!
Hi and thanks for your videos, they have help me alot...

after you model the gears can you animate them like in solidworks?
Super, thanks for sharing.😊 I need to make a bulldozer track.
thanks for your video, i would like know how i can selec two objects, how can you select both of them? thanks
Just click the first object and then press Shift key and click the other object
YES . OR YOU CAN JUST CLICK ANYWHERE ON THE SCREEN AND DRAG ON THE 2 OBJECTS
How do I select 2 or more items at same time? Holding Ctrl it does not work.
yep, Thinkercad tutorial about how to put stuff on rounded objects (like you do when designing R2D2 body) it`s a great idea. waiting for it )
+Макс Good deal, video will be going up tomorrow!
Thanks for the tutorial. Im new to 3d printing.
Thanks good stuff, I love the duplicate feature
Really interesting method. It even makes the teeth kind of beveled.
man.. you help me in magic way thx alot
+haitham abaas No problem! Glad I can help. :)
so how did you select both teeth at once after you duplicated the one original tooth?
Use Ctrl
I'm trying to do this but it's not letting me click on both to duplicate them
Do I need to register and download the program
Good Video. Could you do one on a clock face?
I would be real interested in making 1 round gear and a flat bar with gear teeth on one side.
How do you make a hole in the center of the gear in Tinkercad?
Hay, love the gears, Just wondering if there is a more accurate way of aligning the teeth without centering it in the grid? if you know of another can you show us?

Why don't you copy and revise community menu and some standard template such as progear ?
I just got a 3d printer and got started with tinkercad
This video saved me loads of time!
Thank you!
How about worm gears next?
You're an excellent teacher. Thanks for this - I picked up some excellent tips esp the Ctrl d feature for multiple duplication.
Thanks im a beginner in the 3d printing world and your videos been so useful great job
Thanks a lot - very nice tutorial!
Thank you for sharing your experience and expertise with Tinker. Keep up the great work.

and how can the rack be made for this gear, I subscribed !!!
Very helpful video, thank you. Was looking for a way to create a textured surface on a thumb screw and with a slight modification this worked a treat.
Great video. I learned a lot! I will be looking for others you have made. I need to figure out how to use the ruler tool. I click on it and I don't know what I am looking at or how to "measure" anything specific in the print.
This was awesome. Just what I needed to help my students. Really nicely made.
How do you design a rack that matches the pitch of the gears that you create? I can't figure out a good way to do it on Tinkercad.
Haha, yes; they're called teeth! And a cog is the actual gear. It's great that you curved the faces of the teeth 'cos that helps with the smoothness you testify to.

Thank you for that!
Great video! Can you also create a guide for helical gears? If the gears have a slant like 5% to 10%
nice tutorial, it's easy to make gears with your tutorial. thanks bro :)
Can u make gear like this (tkr 5237) that is model number
Can I use tinkerCad for my CNC Machine or just it is designed for 3D Printers ? in other words does it generate dxf files ?
Brilliant - thanks!
you video is really good
what! is it even possible to love tinkercad more. awesome. do it again
+Erick Reconco Lol I agree! :)
Thankyou from a newbie
Very useful , thanks.
How to make Gears Animation ? Thanx.
really cool. this works also really good with encoder wheel design!!
nice video, not sure if I can use it or have to make one more mathematically correct. it is very useful. thanks for sharing
