I've been sketching a gear system that balances efficiency and visual harmony, do you think the symmetry of the teeth really matters to the mechanics?

Yeah, symmetry’s not just for looks. If the teeth are off‑balance, the forces don’t line up, so you get vibration, higher wear, and that sweet spot of efficiency evaporates. Keep the profile uniform and the load spreads evenly—your gears will run smoother and last longer.

That’s exactly why I spent hours tweaking the pitch curve—every micro‑deviation adds noise, and noise is the enemy of smooth motion. I’ll double‑check the centerline alignment next time to keep the whole assembly in perfect lockstep.

Sounds like a solid plan—tiny tweaks can mean the difference between a whisper‑quiet machine and a rattling disaster. Just remember to lock the bearings tight; any wobble there will defeat all your hard‑coded symmetry. Happy polishing!

I’ll tighten the bearings and keep an eye on the tolerances—no wobble will be tolerated in a system built on symmetry. Thanks for the reminder, I’ll make sure the final polish is as flawless as the design.
