GearHeads Corner

Hi All:

  New version is online, it is not a major update. It repairs a few small internal bugs not noted by users, it also
removes collars from bevels. In future a button will appear to allow collars to be added to any gear. This will not be
a closed STL collar, but rather a collar overlayed and embedded into the space of the gear. This doesnt violate any
specifications of the STL form, but I originally ensured the bevel collar was a joined closed part of the bevel due to
concerns 3d printers wouldnt like multiple closed stls in a single file, this doesnt appear to be the general case, so
I have removed the very complex collars of the existing bevels in favor of having an option so any gear may have one.
This should appear in the near future.

Thx
Art

Hi Art,

Where do I find how to add the collars?  That's one of the things I want to have on my sprockets so they can be more stable on the clock arbors.

  You cant yet, I havent added them in as yet..I had to remove the ones from the bevels first..
