  Weird behavior – Cogwheel/ Connectors

  Posted by Ken West on January 21, 2017 at 11:35 am

  I’m stumped.
  I have been trying to make a simple set of working gears using cogs, connectors and a motor, but am getting a weird shake/ tremble / uncontrollably spin between connecting gears.

  I have tried and tried again, and have even gone through step by step multiple tutorials on youtube to see if there is something I am missing, and it looks like I am not.

  
  The model, stationary.

  The second I hit play and animate model, my gears go beserk and actually move off centre to my connectors.
  

  The second I separate the gears, they sit still, normal. I can put a motor on a gear and it will function normally. Once I connect another gear, I get the same bizarre results.
  Any suggestions?
  Using r17 on mac.

  Thanks

  what is the Shape set to in the Dynamics Body Tag/Collision? Should be Moving Mesh… if it already is then I’d have to see the scene file.
