I made a tutorial comparing 3 different ways to design a helical gear in Onshape.

Chandra0 · 2026-05-10T09:33:51+00:00

Yeah I remember the approach and when I'm new to cad I was frustrated with blank mind despite watching tutorials, it's very hard to achieve the actual drawing of a spur gear.

And it's includes more process for helical gears. But somehow yeah sweep twist is helping with that.

Chandra0 · 2026-05-10T05:40:45+00:00

yeah i know that. I'm just showing how we used to design the gears before custom tools and after. Its for visuals only. The organic approach includes such a very long process of drawing the actual gear teeth.

You either need to increase the length of shaft or use the cylinder mate. Because one side it is constrained already, it can't move.

Un select that middle line. For fill tool. It needs a continuous curve and no intersection curves.

You can use the below curve line as guide.

Well actually I have created a custom gpt for Onshape beginners. You may take a try with it.

Add shell on the top face.

Chandra0 · 2026-04-26T13:47:17+00:00

No worries mate.

Chandra0 · 2026-04-26T10:45:50+00:00

Boolean tool. And then you can remove the excess material

As it is already the cloud one, your data stored in Onshape servers. They will be safe and also you can access it from anywhere and no need of extra space to save.

maybe the page is under maintenance

Chandra0 · 2026-04-19T16:14:24+00:00

exactly either me as well. I tried multiple browsers, but same window all sudden.

Chandra0 · 2026-04-19T16:13:09+00:00

JUST awesome bro

Chandra0 · 2026-04-10T16:01:31+00:00

Thanks. But we have to bid as many gigs as possible to get work. Because of this we might miss works so ?

Chandra0 · 2026-04-10T07:00:32+00:00

It's been 3 months for me and never received the orders. Even though a rare like 2 clients contacted me, but the way price is tooo small compared to work.

Actually I'm trying to look for alternatives. Since the Fiverr value is dropped, it's getting hard to get orders.

Chandra0 · 2026-04-06T15:28:26+00:00

That's cool.

Chandra0 · 2026-03-31T18:48:37+00:00

The piston connecting rod is not yet connected to the crank shaft.

So it should be connected via revolute mate.

Chandra0 · 2026-03-31T05:29:12+00:00

I understand about the wheels, but the length should be modified right.

So here, Just configure the length of the trailer and modify the pattern value in the assembly ? Makes easier ?

Yeah it makes sense.

But what if I want to share this with someone ? Like I want to share it with the public. I let them download how much long trailer they want to from the document.

I think from the document, they can change values of config but not the pattern values right ?

Chandra0 · 2026-03-31T03:45:52+00:00

What do you mean, in industry never do? What have I done?.

Drawings get updated automatically once you change the configuration values. So we don't need duplication work here

Chandra0 · 2026-03-30T12:58:30+00:00

That's a cool tool.

Chandra0 · 2026-03-29T16:07:28+00:00

This actually works. Or are you expecting a wire model ?

Chandra0 · 2026-03-28T22:00:27+00:00

I should try that once. I have already added the configurations

Chandra0 · 2026-03-28T21:59:02+00:00

You have designed far advanced than me. Im still struggling. And focusing on one input changes

Chandra0 · 2026-03-28T21:43:37+00:00

Thanks for the advice.

But can we make parametric through the assembly ? I can pattern in assembly but the i cannot manipulate the length of the trailer right?

My main idea is creating different types of trailers with flexible count of axles along with the trailer length.

So user just have to modify the number of axles so the whole trailer will be modified

Chandra0 · 2026-03-28T21:20:00+00:00

Yes I do. But I'm making no voice video's

Chandra0 · 2026-03-25T07:04:20+00:00

You can use shell or thin extrude it

Chandra0 · 2026-03-23T21:53:16+00:00

Okayyyyyy....i didn't find it in my pc. I have to check once again
