OK, found a gear generator, This saves having to hunt catalogs to find a standard part to download. The next step is to customize it with some hub you need like a keyway or "D" or just a 24mm bore hole. Maybe a wider hub so there is room for a set screw and fillet the edges so they are rounded and turn it into STL and then g-code. Many times the hub needs to be wider than the face width so the gear rides stable on the shaft. Then see if they mesh smoothly.
It is a long process with most of the work happening AFTER the involute shape is generated.
