Go to McMaster Carr and find a stock gear you like. If they don't have one you like then Grainger, SPD/SI or Boston Gear will
All those sites allow you to download a CAD file of the stock gear. Of the CAD file types "step" (or ".stp") is the most universal. Then you use your CAD software to modify it. Use OpenSCAD if you like but OpenSCAD has the steepest learning curve by far of anything you will find. It is not for casual users. One of the direct modeling systems works pretty much like you would in the shop where you think in terms of drilling holes and making cuts, not in terms of programming to create geometry.
