That is really great of you to slow down your video for all of us novices. I am an It director at a school and one of our students was trying to make a gear to print in our 3d printer, This is perfect. I just sent her the link. Thanks so much.
Nice Job! It looks very easy because you are an expert. I am a new user of SketchUp and I need to learn how to use the tools with shortcuts/Key Controls. Any suggestions ?
In my opinion Sketchup is useful for designing someones backyard or someother shit where precisions doesn't matter at ALL. After few years working with Inventor and autocad it honestly feels like i was teleported back to the eightees, to be honest i'll probably design those gear faster and more precise by hand..
I have one for you. I'm trying to make a bevel gear, and I have a good start, but it would appear that i have to create many vary complex connections to get faces between the larger base face and the smaller top face. I can send you a pic of what i've done, or the actual file. I'm looking for a way to make this easier, any help would be greatly appreciated.
The answer is this: Download SPGears.rb from the internet and put it into your SketchUp Plugins folder, then restart Sketchup. You don't need to draw cogs manually. Thank goodness!
Good for the general idea, thanks. However, there are a number of problems with your gear Please don't take this the wrong way - your video is very useful is indicated by the number of hits. . The first problem is that the space between gear teeth is too large. The second is that you need to make gears in pairs that mesh. One gear is no good to anyone. By creating the second gear it will expose the gap problem. Since you have made the tooth a component, you can easily change the shape of the tooth on both gears to fit perfectly (a lost opportunity. Perhaps a follow-up video from you will score again?) Thirdly, this gear will wear easily and make a lot of noise if made, and it needs to be an involute shape (Using the arc tool should be OK with the mirror tool) . Otherwise this is a good introduction and good enough for those people only interested in looks and not performance. Thanks

when creating your component, after typing in the name you have to check the box at the end of the window. "replace selection with component"
really enjoyed the tutorial! great work.
Great video I made a perfect gear in skecthup pls make more tutorials!
Your very welcome! I'm glad I could help. Let me know if you ever need any other help!
nice vieo

can you do a tutorial about how you would load this into to a 3d printing program
Isnt there a cog generator that automatically spaces the number and type of teeth I want on the diameter I want?

Very good video. Movements were a little fast. But that's okay. How about making a spring?
1:25 'Once you get on the axis you want...' Um, how do I get on the axis I want?
can you make them moving to? sketchup 2017
How do you fix the problem with the empty face at 8:25 ?? Thanks
what is the shortcut fro the mouse???
Too bad they don't sell keyboards in your country 'cause that would really help you with your "2" key issue.

Good video for sketchup, not good for making gears. You are clearly an artist, not an engineer.
software name please....
Making gears, is not simple, Machinery's Handbook could help you to understand the functionality of the gears.
You never draw a gear in any drafting program. They need to be generated.
Real gear teeth are much more complicated than this. What this tutorial shows is how to make a cartoon of a gear.
Sorry to inform you, but you did not make a gear.
terrible
