Internal tooth ring gear for PLANETARY gearbox. #92

Closed Dougiedog closed 6 years ago

Dougiedog commented 6 years ago

Hello: my name is Ludwig.

I have been using the involute gear generator for use with my 3D printer. You have created a fantastic program.

I would like to make a planetary gearbox which requires an INTERNAL tooth ring gear. Simply selecting the inverse of a gear does not create the correct tooth geometry.

Any chance you could add this function to the program?

PS. I have absolutely no programming skills or knowledge.

Regards, Ludwig.
