Hey, thanks for actually narrating! Seriously, it really means a lot. This video was so useful to me. I just wanted to quickly model a knurled cylinder for 3D printing with TPU. The measurements were not critical because it will only ever mesh with flesh! I was trying to create the circular pattern in the sketch but it wouldn't extrude properly. Your technique did the trick.
At the risk of pissing people off I have to thank you for your video. I am a total novice trying to learn this stuff and found your video very easy to follow. Maybe rather than criticizing you they should try to make their own video showing the "right" way of doing this. There are a lot of videos out there but frankly either they have no audio narration, just annoying and distracting music tracks or people for whom English is not their first language narrating so following and understanding the videos is very difficult or impossible for newbs like me. So thank you again and if you could make one on bevel or helical gears that would be greatly appreciated.
I disagree. The criticizing comments make the video more useful. Any good video can be useful even if it has errors or inefficiencies, and so people commenting on better ways to do things makes this video BETTER by the criticism. Now the video is MORE useful than it already WAS, by the additional description of better ways to do what is shown.
I was hoping for a verbal walkthrough of making a true involute curve for the tooth, as inventor STILL doesn't have this feature built in. Making a gear like this with grossly approximated tooth pitches isn't actually useful, you can't use this gear for anything important, because it will never mesh correctly with any other gear teeth.
Hello, this functionality is present on the software "Inventor"! We must build a toothed wheel with "design accelerator", then clicked on the toothed wheel and select "export the tooth shape" ;-)
How... The fuck... Did you find that!? I've spent literally dozens OF DOZENS of hours trying to find a way to do this natively in inventor. I mean, in our defense, it's hidden in a profoundly STUPID spot, given how important it is, and no matter what you search for in the help section, it brings up NOTHING related. Pending some playing with this to see if it actually works, you just might be my favorite human of 2016!!
hahaha :-) Yes in this software, there are oddly hidden functions. The problem is that if you build any real mechanism, with the right curves, the computer will soon be at the end of its power. If you do not want to build the toothed wheels, but buy them, it works fine. But I agree that this function could be a little more visible :-)
that works too, however by subtracting material it might make using the circular tools little more trickier. But that's the great thing about inventor, there's multiple ways to achieve the same objective
A better way to model is to cut the gears from the model, not add the material for the teeth. That way you can suppress the teeth for a simplified view, whereas if you were to suppress your teeth here now the simplified gears would not intersect in the assembly. Plus I would have started with a revolve that includes all turned features (gear and hub) on such a simple part, or on more complicated, then as much as possible all turned features in the main revolve, until it doesn't make sense, then cut away material, more like you'd really manufacture it, instead of adding and adding material unlike it would be manufactured (assuming not additive manufacturing).
How will i make a chain and can i use some tool to resize the gear example is a gear train with 2 gears one gear is smaller and other is bigger the big one has 30 T the small have 20 T only difference is the teeth and the diameter
OK I understand, then it's true for beginners. Now you could make a video by building a involute;-) I congratulate you for your videos .. this is a great help to many people, I'm sure.
Hey its simple if you make it in assembly. Design tab and Spur gear. You can edit all the properties from face width to number of teeths.

I know, this is just used for a high school introduction to engineering class ; mostly for their reverse engineering project.

Learning how to 3D model for 3D printing. Very Helpful. Thank you
hey john, congratulations! could you please create a video of creating a ring gear?
Thank you 🙏🏻 it is really amazing explanation
that works too, however by subtracting material it might make using the circular tools little more trickier. But that's the great thing about inventor, there's multiple ways to achieve the same objective

How do you match the gaps between the teeth so that the gear could fit in if I ever wanted to resize the gear diameter? 🤔
Thank you sir may you please help with rack and how we assemble it to this gear please
How will i make a chain and can i use some tool to resize the gear example is a gear train with 2 gears one gear is smaller and other is bigger the big one has 30 T the small have 20 T only difference is the teeth and the diameter
ty man this video awesome... i am 3rd year mechanical
awesome work!
is this a spur gear or a ''look like'' spur gear? lol
so helpfull~
Which software u using??
inventor 2016
@@JohnFuller804 Why does it say 2015 at the top?
Just Wondering
how to convert this spur gear from inch to mm ?
that's not a spur gear
> Sorry, but that is not how one creates a toothed wheel
Create a sprocket from a involute.
I'm aware of that, please see my previous comment
OK I understand, then it's true for beginners. Now you could make a video by building a involute;-)
I congratulate you for your videos .. this is a great help to many people, I'm sure.
