All long-term value is built from the follow-through part of short-term habits. Follow-through as in golf swings not as in delivering on commitments. It’s respecting the momentum of every atomic action that produces natural “extra” effects relative to immediate needs.

I have a few ideas for projects that will require gears. My Everest project would be an equatorial mount gearbox for a telescope.

Came across this wild youtube channel with tons of gears and crank animationshttps://youtu.be/oHQ4ZaiRbgc

Hah thank you! The unfortunate answer is that Autodesk Inventor's gear generator is the best I've used, but you do *not* want to buy that software lol

Matthias Wandel (AWESOME youtube btw) has this program I've used https://woodgears.ca/gear/index.html that's full featured and technically correct, but IIRC was a little bit of a pain to get imported into real CAD packages at the correct scale and such.

Also if you'd like mechanical device design superpowers, read through Fundamentals of Design by Prof Slocum: https://meddevdesign.mit.edu/fundamentals-of-design/ … It's got alternating summary / in depth pages so it's super light reading, and it's contributed more to my skills than my undergrad by FAR

This is absolutely amazing. I saw something in here just glancing at it for a second that is applicable to a current work issue.

When I was making gears I downloaded some pre-made 3D models in standard gear sizes from Thingiverse, and then customized the axle connections which they used.
