So I've been searching up "bevel gear" CAD tutorials, but all I can find is "Spiral bevel gear".
It seems like the spiral version of the bevel gear is much more popular in engineering then the normal one one.
But drawing a spiral bevel gear, and manufacturing it would be more complex and prone to faliure, while a normal bevel gear needs less detail. The spiral one seems to do the exact same thing except that it's more complex...
For a gear that needs to be responsive and simple, and can be 3d printed for pototyping, is there any reason why I would choose a spiral bevel gear over a normal type bevel gear?
Thanks in advance
