Well, the gear *would* mesh properly with another identical gear, just
not with an actual LEGO gear. The profile of the teeth is the next thing
I'm going to tackle; they're the correct approximate dimensions, just
lacking the subtle curves and such. I also need to slightly increase the
diameter of the 4 friction pin holes and fix a few other things.
