While I have your attentions, I just have one last question.
I have been wanting to make my own gearbox for a couple of days now, but I'm just kind of lost as to how to approach this. I guess the main thing that is throwing me off is the distance between the center of the gears.
I was tempted to say that the distance between the center of gears would be equal to the inner radius of the gear + the outer radius of the other gear, but I know that gears don't sit tight into each other.
Then, I was just tempted to eyeball it, but that's not a "correct" workflow and it's not something that I wanted to depend on.
Thanks for any help.

Sunny,
I used a calculator that chrisL made and a member on our team integrated parts of it into one big one.

Just enter 20 under DP. It adds a .003 to the overall Center to Center. I've used this multiple times in designing gearboxes for last year and this year.

Yep Jeff,
You are right with the added Center to Center distance.
