The teeth of the gear is looking strange

[Oskar Erikpers]

Looks perfect all around the gear except this spot, what might cause this?

Maybe normals, or double vertices?

[Omar Domenech]

Yeah it’s probably along the lines of some interior face in there, double vertices, scale not applied, flipped normals, maybe triangles or Ngons, perhaps you have a solidify or bevel modifier that has too high a value and is throwing things off. Check for all of that in your geometry.

Yeah, I think Omar and An may be right.  Enter edit mode and select all your geo then hit “m” to merge and select the “by distance option” .  You could also try going into edit mode and going to the top menu in the 3D viewport and select mesh -> normals -> recalculate outside.  Hopefully one of those will do the trick.
