Version 3 follows. All parts need to be replaced. I fixed the cracks. I removed trailing zeros. I changed the precision to 4 decimals. I inset the teeth a tiny little bit to hide the convex backside. I removed two extra faces that were just adding a (...) (19 years ago, 2-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Sorry I missed this in my first reply, but I just noticed. There's a minor modeling glitch that's resulting in extra polygons on one side (but not the other). Take a look at the circled sections (you can just make out the problem via the shading): (...) (19 years ago, 2-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

I have a few comments to make about the part in general, and since I wanted to highlight some lines in this particular sub-part, I'm entering my whole reply here. Lines 46-55 in this file are listed as triangles, but all have two identical vertices, (...) (19 years ago, 2-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

(...) I don't expect it to be a problem, but if you do see seams, you can always have the subfile contain two blades, in which case the alignment between the files becomes exact. --Travis (19 years ago, 2-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) No, it's not an issue. Within a reasonable amount of error, of course. If subfiles are positioned orthoganally to each other, there should be no alignment errors. With this part, that's not possible. You can reduce the size of the calculation (...) (19 years ago, 2-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I wasn't sure how to handle primative paths. I'll try it without a path and see if it works. The internal rings are attached to the fin in the x784s01.dat sub-part.

To make the Hailfire Gear, I modeled one segment with one fin in 3DS Max. I exported it with the script I previously posted. Then, I spun the segment around with the following code. I also spun in 168 teeth from the gear tooth primative. // Hailfire (...) (19 years ago, 1-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
