Use a 'fastened mate' to connect the gear and axle. Alternatively, use the 'planar mate' to enable the gear to slide on the axle.
Use a 'fastened mate' to connect the gear and axle. Alternatively, use the 'planar mate' to enable the gear to slide on the axle.
Click the arrow for a hint!
Fastened mate: Click 'fastened mate'. Then, click the side face of the axle and the corresponding face inside the gear. See the visual to the right.
Planar mate: Click 'planar mate'. Then, click a side face of the axle and the corresponding face inside the gear. Repeat this for at least one more side of the axle.
If the assembly doesn't look quite right after using a mate, try flipping the primary axis or reorienting the secondary axis (these actions are found on the mate options).

Use a 'cylindrical mate' to get the axle in line with the holes in the technic beam.
Use a 'cylindrical mate' to get the axle in line with the holes in the technic beam.

Click 'cylindrical mate'. Then, click the inside face of a technic beam hole and the front face of the axle. See the visual to the left.
Use a 'gear relation' to enable gears to move synchronously.
Use a 'gear relation' to enable gears to move synchronously.
Click the arrow for a hint!
Click 'gear relation'. Then, click the cylindrical mate of each pair of gears (found under Mate Features). Adjust the relation ratio accordingly with the number of teeth that each gear has. See the visual to the right.
Challenge: Try combining multiple gears to create different gear ratios.
