Questions on designing an efficient cycloidal profile for a cycloidal pinwheel reducer: how to choose tooth count parity, pressure angle, and housing profile

Reddit r/robotics

A developer building a DIY high-efficiency cycloidal pinwheel reducer (using a dual-disc structure) is publicly asking for advice on whether the tooth lobes and outer pin teeth should be odd or even, whether there is a standard for the optimal pressure angle, whether the housing needs to be shaped to match the cycloidal profile, and which parameters to focus on in design charts. The post does not give specific models, dimensions, or measured efficiency data.
