SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the optimal approach to identify gears for a project, specifically mentioning the use of bevel gears and spur gears. It emphasizes the necessity of creating an integral unit from a single piece, while also considering the clearance required for the hobbing tool during the manufacturing process. The conversation highlights practical considerations in gear design, including size constraints and the relationship between gear types.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of gear types, specifically bevel gears and spur gears
- Familiarity with hobbing as a manufacturing process
- Knowledge of mechanical design principles
- Basic concepts of clearance in manufacturing
- Research the hobbing process for gear manufacturing
- Explore design principles for creating integral gear units
- Learn about gear clearance requirements in mechanical design
- Investigate the properties and applications of bevel and spur gears
Mechanical engineers, product designers, and hobbyists involved in gear design and manufacturing processes.

Yea, LEGO gears 
But really, I would imagine that in a 'real' application, you would have to have a separate bevel gear (90*) and spur gear (same plane). These could possibly both be hobbed from a single piece, making an integral unit, however you would need to leave enough clearance between the blanks for the hobbing tool, so the part would likely be kinda big relative to the size of the gears.
