Let's give FreeCAD a bit of a stress test, shall we ?
objective: re-create the geometry of the spherical gear ball thing seen in this lovely gif right here:

I couldn't make it lol
I'm curious to see whether anyone can re-create it

Re: geometry stress test - spherical gear
Hey! Awesome work!
Pretty new to FreeCAD here. I spent a couple of hours on this but could not get anywhere.
Can you tell me how you made it?

Non parametric :
1) PartDesign_Sprocket
2) Draft_Draft2Sketch
3) suppress half sketch
4) inside close sketch line -> PartDesign_Revolution
5) copy half sketch
6) outside close sketch line -> PartDesign_Groove
