Very useful tool, allowed us to generate enveloping gears easily that were difficult Solidworks and Alibre. Thought the hardware crowd here would find this interesting. (No affiliation, just wanted to get them some visibility after they proved helpful).

It might be a really useful tool but that name... slip of mind or joke?

Do you have a blog post about that? It may be a good submission. Did you 3D print the gears or use traditional metal workshop methods? It was a replacement or a new gear for your solar project?
