"helical gear" (by mcclipper)
Hello, I would like to make a helical gear, I understood that there is not a possibility with the extrusion function, I tried with the helical function, the big problem the teeth are not the same on both sides.
Thank you.
Thank you.

What you could try is to draw the gear tooth on a plane skewed 90% to the helix angle, and use the axis of the gear for the extrude direction. The sketch normal, and the helix or extrude normal do not have to be the same.
