Good. Chains are hard to model, as their nodes should be connected at all times.

Hi “likers” …

I made a variant with gears in SVG, after receiving comments and advices from @vielzutun.ch

Much better :+1:

But speed of chain movement and rotation of sprockets get still out-of-sync after a while, with teeth hitting against the chain rollers instead of sliding into the gaps between rollers … :wink:

Hello Likers…

The gears have a better svg profile.
The chain and gears synchronization improved with @Fennec solution (with addendum from @PavelBoytchev ) in Position of the flow.object3D in a moving along scene
I think that u/38.6 and u/77 can be improved for better.synchronization.
