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...

Thanks for posting. Those are classic style cycloid gears. They should be perfectly functional, but the pinions will have a weak tooth base.
Perfect Print Gears are only slightly modified. The active surfaces are fairly similar. Most of the modifications are only to make the gears easier to 3D print. Many of my clocks with the updated gears were generated by rotating lines around to generate the active surfaces. I fiddled around with a Python app to automate the process but never got it to be fully stable.
