i have just laser cut some circular spur wooden gears 2.5mm Mod and they bind a bit
Can solve the problem by bending the shaft a smidgen
Thought there was a way to add backlash but can't see it or remember
Using GT 2.29
Any tips or hints please

Hi Ian:
Set Tooth width to .48 or so, unless its noncircular, then set it to .52.. :)

Thanks Art
Knew it was simply
Was tired and frustrated I had done just that on non circular gears duh!
Thanks Ian

Found out why I got binding gears the width in circular gears is not remembered
eg set it to 0.48 go non-circular return to circular and it is set back to .5 !!
similarly width in non-circular is not remembered !
Also resets to .5 if exit program next time I run GT
A bright side this has shown up a problem I have with shaft slackness/wobble :-\
