In this video I teach you how to design gears in FreeCAD. Designing gears in FreeCAD is relatively easy since there is a tool built right in for it. I give a brief description of all the parameters, and show you how these can be used to create gears for your very own projects. I also explain how to correctly place the gears to ensure proper meshing and maximum operating efficiency. Enjoy!

Blown away by the overwhelmingly positive feedback on this FreeCAD series. To all who’ve been kind enough to leave a comment of appreciation, thank you. These comments motivate me to keep uploading videos. I’m glad I’ve been able to help so many of you. Thank you for watching!
Thank you! I’ve printed my first part made in FreeCAD today. Thanks to your videos.
Great videos! I've learned 3D CAD for the first time over the last weekend with these videos and already have multiple successful designs printed for a motor and encoder mount with a timing belt pulley mounted to the output shaft. Thanks for these
This series is amazingly well done. Thank you for putting in the effort to create it. I'm working my way through the whole lot.
I learned more in the last 30 minutes of watching you than I learned in weeks of toying with freecad. Now I am off to watch another one.
This playlist was my introduction into CAD and FreeCAD for my new 3D printer. And how helpful, soft spoken and insightful this series was so far. Thank you very much for creating this playlist and these videos, Gareth!
You're very welcome, thank you for the kind words!
This is the best series of vids on freecad that i have found. Many thanks for making it straight forward and good practices.
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
Really? To me it seems like thehardwareguy is an absolute beginner at FreeCAD and doesn't yet know how to use it properly. But hopefully in the future he will get used to it, because it's really an amazing piece of software.
@@marcus3d Yes really.
@@marcus3d I couldn't judge one way or the other as I've zero CAD experience. Though I'd say this is like most subjects where you end up learning multiple skill set's. Gear design on it's own is a huge subject in and of itself. Then take that to whatever CAD program your using and you've got a handful to be certain. Regarding the series I've seen the Fusion one on this, and this. Which, this is more applicable to me because I'm learning FreeCad right now. I'd say hands down I like his teaching style and coverage of the subject. Great stuff!
Wow, thanks for this tutorial! My nephew asked me if I can print him a gear for his model car which is broken. At first I was like "Puuhhhh, let's see, that's goint to be quite complicated..." but after watching this tutorial it's easy peasy 😁👍
Thank you very much! In 40 minutes from launching FreeCAD for the first time in my life, I was able to design two gears and send them to printer!
Really good to see a series not only detailing how to use the software in real time, with all the important steps left in, but also keeping to best practice throughout the process rather than 'hacks' or shortcuts that will inevitably lead to more problems down the line. Thanks so much for making these!
Thanks Mick. Glad those things came across in the video, much appreciated!
Another excellent walkthrough. Thank you!
Just Excellent. Well Presented and so easy to understand. Keep them coming. Greatly appreciated.
Great series and you make it very easy to understand. Thanks for taking the time and sharing.
both your equations BLEEEEEW my mind! thank you for this tut XD
Thank you that was awesome video with plenty of useful tips! I'm really impressed with the FreeCAD
Brilliant video, supremely well explained. Excellent tip about tree organising too. Thank you.
I appreciate the time you put into this. Headed to part 6.
It was very instructive, sir. Especially the matter on creating parts and bodies, and also on the correction formulas. Thank you.
These tutorials have really provided a clear set of steps and groundwork for using FreeCAD.
I appreciate what you have done there. It gives me a kick-start from someone who knows nothing to a beginner. Your videos helped alot. Thank you
This was great! I need a gear for a invention I am working on! Thanks for a great demo. Cheers!
This is fantastic - I've been using FreeCAD for a while now and had no idea I could put math expressions into the various parameters! That's SO nice! I'll for sure be watching more of your FreeCAD videos.
A note - the FreeCAD developers have said that you shouldn't combine Part and Part Design, although it's not clear to me why, since it seems to work OK in the simple cases I've used it for. But that might have something to do with why creating a cylinder doesn't place it inside the part you're working on by default.
Thanks you, I like your advice about sorting things and keeping then nested under parts.
That was wonderful and quick... thanks for sharing your knowledge. I had worked on CAD during my college days. Learning freeCAD is fun.
Impressive! How well explained!
Thank you for uploading these videos. I'm currently learning FreeCAD and found your videos very helpful.
I so like your instruction style. You cover details that are so often missed e.g the importance of the tree structure, and if you are a beginner these are key. Great video
Just finished watching your tutorials. I have learned so much from them even though I was already using freeCAD for simple things. Thank you keep them coming.
thank you, I've been trying to grasp how to make a gear and get it thru the part design. This says it all and is easily understood.
I tried for ages to figure this out. I'm so excited to get some gears printed and start building with them now. Thank you so much.
I love this video. You make things look pretty simple.
Awesome Video! Especially the part where you tell the equations to calculate the distance and rotation. In almost every other video, nobody tells about that, so I really appreciate you.
😊
Thank you so much for these very informative videos. I am going to apply this to model a battle tank drive sprocket. Hopefully i can manage to module it correctly and print it.
Great video, lots of information and tips at a pace I can follow, I really like your style. Being new to FC, when it scattered stuff around the tree, I assumed I was just not understanding the reasons why, and subsequently getting in a right muddle. It took me a while to get familiar with FC’s habit off turning the visibility of parts, etc. I look forward to more.
ive had free cad for a while now and have a play every so often watching other tutorials which confuse more then help most seem to skip important steps . found yours and have set up two monitors and have just spent the last six hours watching and using the program . Mate fantastic tutorials step by step and great to follow . Just got to talk the missus into a 3d printer now
You have, hands down, the best FreeCAD tutorial videos! Such clear and accurate instructions. I can actually make & modify 3D parts with confidence now. Thank you.
I really appreciate these videos. I was wondering if you would make a video showing how to make threads.
Thanks for this! Wasn't quite sure exactly how the module ratio was calculated before finding this
cheers!
Superb, I did a load of freecad stuff a few years ago and now I've finally got access to 3D printers i needed a refresher course. This exceeds that in every way. My working methods are changing and already so much more efficient. Many thanks to you sir.
Great videos
Lots more gears options in the gear workbench
Keep them coming
This is really friggin useful man, thank you so much.
Loved the FreeCAD series up till now.... waiting to watch more for Fusion360 beginner's series
Keep it up Best of luck
Hope to see a lot more coming through.❤️❤️👍👍
Fantastic thank you I realy missed this lesson for freecad
this has really helped me, I've been trying to make gears in blender before using freecad and this has saved me so much time
Really enjoying all your videos! Would love to see a series on boxes with different types of lids if possible 😀
Thank you for introducing the other Part section and other tricks. I've been following and making all of these so far and experimenting with other examples, I've had a few issues with exporting to STL in terms of it representing the whole thing I've built, but that's just a selection / nesting thing I have to get used to I think. Thanks for all your help with these videos.
I'm starting to learn CAD to help me visualise product concept for at work. These are absolutely amazing, I'm spending 30 mins before work each day watching various videos and your videos are by far the best! Perfectly paced, constantly driving in the key core concept & very clear!
Can't wait to see more!
Subscribed and notifications checked ! As working from home is now part of the new reality, i have refine knowledge on how to design device for projects in our new 3d printer and pcb printed facility. Thank you so much for easy and straight to to points explanations. In minutes i'm able to mange many aspects of freecad.
Thanks for learning ❤
Great video . Good indepth lesson. Thanks 👍🏻
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You deliver these tutorials extremely well, I have dyscalculia, and everything I needed to learn on Freecad for my project I have been taught by you and I can’t thank you enough.
New to FreeCad and 3d printing. I cant say how many times your tutorials are helping me !!
Many times you say Radius as Diameter :D
Very concise and easy to follow. Thank you for an ad-free tutorial, I have made a small contribution to help support you.
You are truly impressive. I only watched a few tutorials and thought i learnd only a few things. But recently i designed sth and realized how much I already knew because of u . Thx so much for this free content
Another excellent FreeCAD tutorial! Thanks for continuing to produce these.
My pleasure! thanks for watching!
You're the best out of all of them.
Others just upload a video of all the steps without commentary or audio, others don't explain why things are a certain way. I.e, why they used a certain tool.
Thanks 👍
Many Many Thanks!!!!. Never designed 3D models before With this video I managed to design 2 gears to repair a cassette player mechanism.
Great series man, thanks a lot!
Great video just what i was looking for
I've learned a lot from your tutorials on Freecad. Thank you! Coming from F360 and relearning, your examples and method have been very helpful.
Great and thanks for helping us learning something free...
Thanks for easy to follow and down to earth explanation of creating gears. I am busy with creating wooden gears for an entire wooden clock and want to mill them out. I am going to try and use the 2D function and then create a dxf file from that. Hope it works. Thanks again.
thank you man, great work!
Thank you ever so much for these FreeCAD tutorials. I have tried to use FC in the past by just playing with it and that did not work out so good. However, with your videos I am starting to make headway. Mostly I want to know how to make gears and threads.
good, simple, and like a line segment.
Bro, tnx u. Your courses are awesome
Very nice, and informative video. Thank you a lot.
I know this is old but I'm new to the hobby and I love your videos!
Very useful and well done. Thanks a lot
You are single handedly making Freecad a viable option for us mere mortals.
I am over the bait and switch from the big players but until you did your series Freecad looked too hard.
Excellent video.. much thanks!
Excelente vídeo, me esclareceu muito! Anotei as fórmulas e já fiz o teste no FreeCAD. Parabéns pela aula!! (From Brazil)
great video, congrats man!
Please keep making these videos!
Yet another masterpiece
Excellent video, learned a lot from it. Thank you
Incredible videos, I just finished this one and am ready for the next! Thank you so much for making these, you are very easy to follow and your explanations are great.
You're very welcome! thanks for watching Eric
good work man thanks for always sharing 🙏
outstanding tut
I'm currently working through your FreeCAD tutorials, to get some 'training' as I've muddled along with various other CAD products in the past.
I have various design aspirations, but the design always takes the longest, due to me having appalling CAD practices.
The biggest takeaways things or me so far have been parametric modelling, and constraints; these were real light-bulb moments!
Thank you!
Your tutorials are very good.
My suggestions for further tutorial content would be to show selecting operations in the Task View as an alternative to tool bar icons.
Creating sketches on Datum Planes instead of directly onto faces and why one would need to do that.
Wow that helped me a lot. Thanks!
Very good tutorial! Thank´s
You are a gifted teacher. Thank you.
You are very welcome
It's been a year, but ... Thank You!!! I'm creating a compound gear as my first project for 3D print. I was able to do it by trial/error, but now I know how to do it right.
Thanks.. Nice one. Keep it up.
Thank you very much for this tutorial. Your explanation is brilliant.
I am planning on making 3 sets of planatary gears with different ratios to be used in a clock. I know it is a big task but I have my 3d printer up and running again and will try it. Thanks again.
Very cool Thanks so much. I don't have a plan to use gears as of yet but I will continue to watch. I did download Free Cad but have not installed it yet will do that tomorrow.
Keep up the pace I have been having problems getting my Channel started, I'm working on it.
Can't refrain from echoing everyone. You definitely make the best videos to transition to FreeCAD.
Awesome video. I really like the way you talk through the video and explain each move. Thank you for the formulas to line up gears!! God bless and heave a great day!
You're most welcome. Thanks for the kind words, and happy new year!
Really enjoying all your FreeCad videos. You're doing great. I'll share these and help spread the word. - Harvey (Virginia, USA)
Thanks Harvey, I'd really appreciate that! All the best
Wow!!! Thank you so much. :)
Thank you for clear presentation.. I am an engineer designing a 1.5 M dia clock for a play. I use Arduino RF Nano's to communicate from the sound desk to the clock driven by a single stepper motor and spur gear set. I need to 3D print six nylon spur gears which must press fit onto concentric steel pipe elements between the hub, an idler shaft and the motor. Never done any 3D drawing before so thanks for such a clear start.
Sounds awesome Mike. Good luck with your project!
Hi, I am new to FreeCAD and thanks to you, I am learning so much. I would appreciate a tutorial on making curved or conical shapes or helical threads, I don't know if you have already covered this. Thanks, very sincerely, for your help and clear and helpful videos. Big kudos to you!
Wow, awesome! This is what I call a brilliant tutorial! Keep it up, and I hope to see many many more videos from you about freecad. Fantastic no more words needed to say. 🤙💪
Thank you for the kind words. Glad I could assist you today
Amazing series, you always explain everything so clearly and explain why things are done in a certain way rather then just moving on, you also give possible solutions as to why something might not be working, rather then just steamrolling through the tutorial. Can't wait for your next tutorial.
thank you for the kind words, means a lot!
Thanks so much for the explanations. I've now got an idea of where to start if I need gears designed. I loved the explanation of how to calculate the distance between the axles for the gears to mesh. Great tutorial.
One thing I will say is that although I (also) find Fusion360 easier to work with, in FreeCAD you don't need an internet connection! :-)
Slow and detailed, perfect
Thank you my friend its a great explanation on gear design. Can you please make a video on how to make keyway on the gear thanks for the Tutorials its a pleasure to watch 😉
Thanks a lot for sharing this video set of freeCAD lessons, it's helping me a lot to use this software. I had 0 previous experience on freeCAD or solidworks, fusion 360 or any other 3D modelling software and yesterday I could, following your instructions, make my first gear for replacing a broken for an old laser printer I have.
I think I need modify a little the gear to imitate some shapes the broken one it had, but now is at least functional and I want print it to see how it looks after slicing and printing it, it has 20mm diameter, then is quite little for printing, and sadly this going to be my 4th attempt of print anything. I need to practise a lot on this too. But anyways, thanks so much for making these tutorials, they're great!
Regards from Chile!!
Works well with the new FCGear module - herringbones, here we come ! Thankyou for your tutorials.
Yep! I just made a tutorial for FCGear! Thanks for watching👍🏻
very informative video as always! thanks for these tutorials.
My pleasure!
