Fusion360 add-in for Cycloidal gears
Just posted. Read all about it here: https://keveney.com/posts/cycloidal-gears-for-fusion-360/ Or, just get the add-in code here: https://github.com/mkeveney/FusionCycloidalGears Still no support for 'perfect print' gears, but I'm thinking about it...

Matt,
I know this is not Steve's Clocks specific but I found your Cycloidal gear add-in for Fusion here. (My admiration for Steve and his Clocks is something I'll write about later.) Just goofing around with your plug in, I made a small gear train for a clock. I really didn't plan on any use, I was just toying with it. I added a stepper motor and used one of the glass sensors from the Steve's Coup Perdu to home the minute hand. It all worked so well, that I continued adding to the project to make a ships clock. Using a ESP32 and a GPS receiver, it keeps perfect time and chimes the ship's bell pattern. I've had it running for a couple weeks now. Thanks for a cool contribution that inspired something satisfying.
