I still haven't been able to make a simple circle in FreeCAD. I keep looking for the Alibre way of doing it which for my brain has always been close to perfect. Never could use AutoCAD and I find Fusion360 confusing . However the gear tool is quite nice in FreeCAD.
I'm still having some problem visualizing exactly how the gears turn to create 67:1. So I thought I'd blow a bunch of money on filament and print them. In hindsight I should have expanded the pinion holes to 22mm since that's a standard (cheap) bearing size. Too late now. Just over 2 hours before the other 4 are done. I could make some tubes that hold smaller diameter ones. Or just play with the motion here first. See how it works and then decide if I want to use my module 1.0mm cutters to make them out of metal. Or just print ones with inset relief to hold 8x22x7 standard bearings.
