I wanted to deform a gearwheel (just for advertising purposes, not CNC or 3D print), but ran into a problem.

the deform target surface has an edge going to the middle, since it is a revolved curve. so the result is completely warped, but not with the desired centre. (quite a funky shape though...)

can this be solved with deform, or should I take another approach?

tnx
