Correct, that model was thrown together in about 6 minutes :)
I envision that a few crisscrossing of the string around the winching screw would anchor it to the screw so it wont slip during tensioning. Do you think the screw will be able to pull the string tight?
Herringbone gears vs. cycloidal gears:
I like the idea of replacing the involute profile with a rolling (lobed) profile.
Positive displacement pumps use this profile.
I agree that a round profile gear tooth is more suited for 3d printing, as it would improve the lay of the material.
