saved it as 2", so only 4" or larger gears coudl be spoked...unfortunatley , once saved, its stored... :)

I'm trying to reform, and was using metric. &nbsp;The size was set to 50.8mm, I changed it to 20. &nbsp;Now I have to decide which spokes <g>. &nbsp;The first gear looked a bit funky anyway due to printing too fast and not enough cooling on the side away from the fan. &nbsp;I'll try again.

I just noticed the prolog/epilog code option.&nbsp; At some time you might think about adding an option for line segments vs arcs for gcode, some of the arduino firmware either doesn't do arcs or does but doesn't handle them very well.&nbsp; No biggie, force them to switch or do it right.&nbsp; And you thought I was going to say tabs :)

I bumped it up to 150mm, still no spokes on regular or helical bevels, fwiw.&nbsp; I wasn't really expecting them, but the options are available, respoke isn't grayed out.&nbsp; It chugs after clicking respoke, but no spokes appear.&nbsp; V1.02

Hi Kirk:

&nbsp; Bevels are the one gear type I dont allow spokes on for technical reasons.
BE carefull of all those spokes, some are meant ony for laser cutters as their way
too fine ( like the musical note spokes ) for cnc in general.
&nbsp; In keeping with the increasing number of ways to make things we'll continue
to add things that some modalities can cut, others cannot, so people will have to be
carefull to ensure theres enough "meat" on the spokes and indicators for whatever
modality will end up cutting them..

Thx
