I figured out a better way to do the sweep after I had already recorded everything, so that delayed this video a bit. I'm quite happy with this workflow though.

I've been working at mechanics maintenance for 10 years now. My work is to project, mount and improve mechanisms everyday and all theses videos are so accurate to how stuff works. Thank you for sharing this treasure!

Fantastic work. I'm an absolute beginner with modeling and printing gears, yet this tutorial made the process easy and fun. 10/10 teaching quality.

Incredibly useful video that I have found after 2 years with Fusion 360. I love your lessons, man! Thank you very much!

Binge watched your playlist. Extremely well done. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Wow, this is great. It helped me a lot. To avoid the issues with overhang when 3D printing the worm, i tried cutting it in half along its rotational axis in the slicer software and printing both halves facing the printbed. It's not perfect, but for low-stress applications like mine it worked really well.

High-quality content as always! Thank you for making these videos

Brilliant as always!

Thank you for the great lesson. I agree that it's quite complete. For the next lesson, it would be nice to see how you would do a globoid worm gear. And even further down the line, to take full advantage of 3D printing technology, a globoid worm meshing with the globoid worm gear.

3:37 you somehow created the little triangle "midpoint" that you forgot to mention. Took me a while to fully constrain my sketch. I am so grateful for these instructions and I find them fantastic. Clear and interesting.

Thank you so much, these videos were extremely helpful and informative. Easy enough for a beginner, but also contains advanced material and also advanced but succinct mathematics. Very helpful indeed, you are an excellent teacher. Thanks again.

Next is double enveloping/globular worm gear sets?? This is my far the best gear series on KZfaq.

You are a fantastic teacher! Thank you!

indeed great insights and teaching abilities!!! amazing how easy you make it, congrats

An actual worm wheel gear is not a helical gear. The worm, which you have modelled correctly, will interfere with the helical geartooth on both the entry and exit side, because the worm is not a rack, it is a helical path, which makes it twisted. This is why your interference inspection at the centerline fails to inform you of the actual interference that exists off the centerline. You're better off using the solid model of your worm as a solid cutter, and cut into a disk blank ( which becomes the worm wheel). You will have to make several of these solid cutter operations with the worm rotated a few degrees around the wheel, in effect, generating a worm wheel tooth into the blank. I'd do this repositioning and solid cutting about 4 or 5 times to get a reasonable facimile of an actual worm wheel tooth. Then isolate one completed tooth and copy/rotate it around the center of the wheel. I have done this in real life machining. It's a bit messy to have a model composed of tiny slivers of surfaces. But it's far closer and better mesh than your helical gear.

I appreciate these videos a lot, thank you very much!

Great video, I was looking exactly for this tutorial(with parameters), complete and well explained thanks :)

Great knowledge & sharing! look forward to your steel/bronze/cast iron sample🤓

I'm looking forward to your treatment of spiral bevel gears and maybe hypoid too? So far I haven't found any videos that describes them other that a few that do "that looks about right" shapes for the tooth profiles.

Another great video! I would like to see un the future a compound planetary reducer tutorial, thanks for sharing

You're amazing at making everything seem both logical and simple. I've also become better at Fusion 360 from watching your videos. Thanks! The only problem I had is the Fusion 360 interface's text is too small to see unless my screen is maximized. Not a big deal at all though, it was well worth dealing with.

Hi, I tried like 4:17 using sweep, but get "Error: There is a problem with the guide rail. Check that it pierces the profile plane and that it is on the same side of the profile plane as the path." Do you know where I miss? Thanksss

Cool video!

Great video, thanks for sharing!

Nice job ! And thanks for the credits !

How Antalz! I really enjoyed this series!! Thanks so much for making it! I've learnt so much from you! Are you still planning on making more videos? That would be amazing! Although, I know making videos is hard, so only if it's possible!

Why do the number of teeth factor into the twist angle? I have 300 teeth on my large diameter gear and the twist angle is less than 0.037 degrees. It doesn't match up at all with the worm. I ended up just doing trial and error using interference and the twist angle I needed was around 0.4deg - more than an order of magnitude off

When 3d Printing. Should we add a backlash to the wheel? You didn't mention in the video, at (3d printing pointers) whether or not you ended up adding a backlash to the wheel. Before that, If I'm not mistaken the model in Fusion 360 still had 0 backlash.

I am struggling on modeling a worm face/helicon gear, it would be really helpful if you made a video on how to create them.

Excellent video. Did you ever have any luck with throated worm wheels?

0:24 please confirm if this is always the case.

Thank you. I am planning to use a T8 8mm shaft as a worm gear and I have to create a suitable worm wheel for my project. Is there a place that I can get dimensions of T8 shaft with 4 starts? Thank you once again.

Great video! Does the worm gear use an involute profile?

In my current setup, I have problems with oscillations. The period matches the revolution time of the worm. So I suspect that the teeth of the gears do not match well. What can I do to improve the situation? The worm is cylindrical and was bought, so I can not change that. Would making the wheel globoidal help? How would I go about modelling that?

your explanation is amaizing! i'm not design in Fusion360(in soliidworks) i;m missing the equation to build the tooth of the gear(wheel not worm). i searched in previous movies but not find. mostly, according to my knowledge, use with addendom equal to the modoule and d-dendom to 1.25*modoule. do you recommend so?

17:21 you mistakenly swap the worm and wheel in your dialog.

Really useful video. I have mapped most of this to an onshape project but at 11:00 , which height are you referring to by "H"? It appears to be the wheel gear thickness but I do not understand why that should impact the angle (consider a very wide or narrow wheel gear... why should the angle change?) . I assume I have the wrong height ? (e.g. a 200mm height wheel gear comes out with an angle of 22.6 deg )

Hi, first of all, great explanation and tutorial for the helical/spur/worm gears. I was looking for way to design a helicoid focusing gear set, that are used in lenses. Usually it's 2 sets of helical gears and they work together for moving the optics for focusing. What I haven't seen online so far is how to make an internal/external helical gear set that can be parametric just like you have here in this video. Any idea of it's possible/easy to parametrize that? I'm a relatively new into gear design so don't know the extents of the possible things you can do parametrically. Thanks

"Numeber of Starts" could you explain about of this. & diameter is pitch circle Diameter of worm?

this looks like an excelent tutorial but those are helical spur gears not worm gears

Solidworks toolbox draws toof profile schematically, by arcs, I think the same is in Fusion. I think it is a reason of your interference. It is not a big problem to draw involute, it is interesting geometrical task. Just don't use equations, use geometric relations instead. Otherwise you will have update problem when you try to change geometry because equations are solving after geometric relations. Thank you for video and good luck.

How is here because of PS5 Adaptive Trigger
