can someone please judge this? I’m practicing CAD by attempting to design a gear drive. Very WIP but I’d appreciate any feedback or pointers on getting things dimensioned better.

what’s onshape?
a weird free cloud-based CAD suite that is available as an apk so I can interact with a touchscreen, which is actually making this learning process so much more enjoyable.
ah
probably best to just send the stls or sometbing, no one afaik has onshape

I’m just trying to figure out how to download a file now, it contains a sketch and assembly data as well as part history so idk what format I’m going for here yet. again, just figuring all this out.
you don’t need any of those bits, just a step, or stl, or, something like that

so I found an add-on in their app store that claimed to make what I made into a file and this is what it spit out
can’t open that
send screenshots instead?
i’m only seeing 1 part so i’m going off that
there are too many angle setting thingy holes. there’s not enough material between, so they will stress and wear/break
it’s a gear drive, you don’t need that large a channel for backlash setting
you need tolerances on the holes, or in general
side walls are too thin
the transition between the font semi circle and the straight wall closest to the motor gear section should probably be tangent
idk how the rest is so that’s all i got

if it’s one part with walls and recessed holes for screw heads it’s the full thing so far.
do you have any suggestions for tolerances? should I just add 0.1mm gap to things?
I have 16 holes, I figured that would provide for 4 angles within 4x 90 degree orientations. would less be okay? or should I make the mounting hole circle larger to increase the material between?
they should be 1.5mm which I thought would be strong enough, how thick would you suggest?
this is something I’ve been struggling with, if I give too many things absolute dimensions some tangents refuse to tangent. those walls in particular are consistently spitting errors when I do anything but freeform the contact points.
thank you for the feedback this will really help me improve.
i’m not sure on tolerances because cnc is new to me, it also depen on who you’re having make the gds and what tolerances you ask them to use
the angle setting holes probably depend on what kind of truck your using, what angle they’re typically at, and how you plan to mount the gds to the trucks
the sidewalls, idk, maybe 3mm at the minimum
as for tangential lines, idk, that’s up to the program you use

this is why I felt like more is more, I was attempting to design something universal that could mount to any truck angle or profile.
before making something universal, make it for the style of board you plan to put it on, street, mtb, etc
then expand or improve it

I’ve taken your feedback and made some modifications. again heavy emphasis on the “WIP”
I kind of plan to design a truck for this too, so that’s why I want to leave the mounting more universal.
