Build it with your AI

Using the CheapCADTools connector, design a 4 : 1 planetary gear set in Planetary Gear Designer: diametral pitch 16, 20° pressure angle, spur teeth, a 21-tooth sun, 21-tooth planets and a 63-tooth ring, three planets, a profile shift of 0.2 on the planets, face width 12.7 mm. The sun: a 12.7 mm bore with a keyway 3.175 mm wide and 1.6 mm deep. The carrier's output: a 15.875 mm bore. Check the design, apply any Auto-fix it suggests, then export every part (the sun, a planet, the ring and the carrier) as STEP and STL and give me the download link.

Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or any AI app with the CheapCADTools connector, and it designs this planetary set with you, checks it and hands you the files. How to connect your AI.
