Model details

Description

Overview and production context

Introducing a highly detailed 3D model of two connected gears, created with precise adherence to specified parameters. The first gear has 60 teeth, and the second has 15, providing a 1:4 ratio. The module of the gear engagement is 2, and the backlash for free rotation is 0.2 mm. The model is rendered in a neutral gray color, simulating plastic or metal, and is perfectly suited for demonstrating the principles of mechanical transmissions, educational purposes, or as a component in more complex mechanisms.

How to use this model

Use cases, fit and pre-production checks

This 3D gear model is ideal for 3D printing. Printing with PLA or ABS plastic is recommended, with supports for overhangs, especially for the gear teeth. Scaling the model is possible, but ensure the 0.2 mm backlash is maintained for correct rotation. The model is also excellent for use in game development, AR/VR applications, or for creating educational visualizations demonstrating mechanical principles. It can serve as a standalone display piece or as part of a larger diorama focused on mechanics or engineering.

FAQ
