Out of curiosity, what made you go with that shape?

The size and shape of the gearbox are specific to a project were working on and fits very nicely vertically in the space its required. The reason for going big was that we have many of the large gears kicking around plus i wanted to keep it to minimal stages. So really the gearbox isn't costing much because its being laser cut along with a much bigger project which is the main focus.
