Actually this code seems to be more than just inspired by the code at http://github.com/TheOtherRob/...

I'm actually looking into adding the improvements to the repo, which has more nice stuff also.

Im having trouble editing my thing using IE 6.0, but I thought I'd upload it anyway. When I get somewhere with a better browser, I'll upload some STLs.

Its a parametric gear in openscad that allows you to generate meshing gears with variable number of teeth by selecting the pressure angle and diametric or circular pitch. You can insert holes in the gear plate to save on plastic. You can have a thicker gear face (rim) and independently specify the
thickness of the hub.

It was inspired by TheOtherRob and catarina's parametric gear.

Here's a pic for now:
