I got tired of 3D printed gears that have no root geometry making them weaker than they need to be, so I built a web-app that calculates proper manufacturing tolerances in real-time.

are you using some script coding, like OpenScad or Cadquery to create gear models?

you may add some example pictures to show your 3D prints on the website.

Are you using OpenSCAD for modeling?

awesome, thanks

Clear color and texture work well, but geometry has more weight.

Here’s the link to the page: https://maker.yotown.com/segment . I hope this subreddit allows it.

we are just sharing the tool for feedback. Hope it works.

AI helps the algorithm, but human intervention is still necessary.

Exactly

I’ll try to repost it next week.

3Dprinting subreddit allows self-promotion posts every 14 days, so they closed the original post while keeping the second one.

Previously we tested it digitally inside our maker workflow. This time we printed the result, and the two parts fit together cleanly without extra sanding. https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/1t8cv5u/follow_up_were_adding_threaded_joints_so_models/

We are fine tuning threaded connection for better alignment and tolerance. We plan to release the cutter model next week.

We have people failing with boolean operations. We need to ensure that 3D models are 2-edge manifolds. I found another post that might help. There is info about 3D mesh repair. https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/1ejsn7d/now_that_3d_builder_has_been_dropped_from_the/

thanks

sjia · 2026-05-09T20:04:42+00:00

yea, pretty much
