Herringbone train generator
Generate a meshing herringbone train (chevron gears at correct centre distances)
A meshing line of herringbone gears, each two opposite-hand helical halves so its axial thrust cancels, spaced at the correct centre distances. The chevron hand alternates down the train, because external helicals only mesh opposite-hand, and every gear is phased so the teeth interlock while staying a separate printable body.
