Is it feasible to create a Helical or Herringbone Non-Round Gears?  Just a though.

Well, it could be done for 3d printers, but theyd be near impossible to create any other way.. well, depending on convexity.
Convex noncircluars could be done, convex ones get very difficult ... Ill give it thought though.. once toothing is complete
on the new module. Its toothign for me, but I have some things to correct and clean up to ensure it can tooth as much as it can..

Thanks Art and yes this would be for 3D printing.

Cheers,
