  New Part: x784 Technic Gear Hailfire Droid Wheel
 
Tonight I hammered out the Droid Wheel Gear. I used lots of sub parts, and I think it is pretty efficient, especially considering how many fins and teeth this thing has! I will post the dats in a follow up in plain text. (2 URLs) (19 years ago, 1-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

  Re: New Part: x784 Technic Gear Hailfire Droid Wheel
 
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)
 
  Re: New Part: x784 Technic Gear Hailfire Droid Wheel
 
(...) 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. That sub-part is really sort of a cross secton of everything except the teeth, (...) (19 years ago, 1-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: New Part: x784 Technic Gear Hailfire Droid Wheel
 
(...) Oops. You are right, the inner ring fell off of the x784s01.dat part somehow. I'll fix that. (19 years ago, 1-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: New Part: x784 Technic Gear Hailfire Droid Wheel
 
(...) Don't make a separate file for x784s01, just put that code in the main x784.dat. Steve (19 years ago, 1-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) You still need to remove trailing zeros. For example in the line above, 1.00 should be simply 1 and -0.000 should be 0. -Orion (19 years ago, 2-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

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.
