This is what I've got so far, It was generated using an add-on for fusion 360. I'm struggling to make the spokes part of the gear, as I have a real tough time getting symmetry.

#

I'm also completely new to fusion 360, and have no idea how to even start drawing.

#

These spokes are very much not symmetrical....

Thank you for that.

#

That's much better than what I was trying to do

#

and then after you do that another 2 times

#

you can also make it parametric by using the Create > Circular Pattern function instead of drawing more lines in the sketch

It does look a little off. I think when I set the 120 degree angles, it went from the side rather than the center of the two parallel lines, but I think I can figure that out.

Final result, not bad at all.
