We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Don't model a complete 360 degree piece of the gear, but maybe only a 30 degree slice. Don't use any contacts. In CAD, unite the disk with the teeth, unite the shaft with the teeth. Then you will have only 2 bodies to mesh. Pay attention to the size of the elements, see how small they are at the contact point.
