Cycloidal gear box code for FreeCad
This workbench will provide a working model of a cycloidal drive that can be 3d printed. This was done as a workbench since all parts need to be mathematically correct in shape and size in order to work. The goal of this workbench is to provide the broad strokes in getting a cycloidal gearbox. It creates all the parametric primitives for each part so you can modify them as you see fit.
See wikipedia for an explanation.

After much effort, I'm happy to report that the math works! I've verified this by doing a 3d print of the default parameters, and another with different parameters. Both gearboxs are functional!
