so I did considered a belt but the issue i think of with the belt is how I need the strength of the geats since the 2 spools would be tightening around the strap so if i used a belt then it most likely wouldnt be strong enough to keep it tight without coming out of its socket. also the housing it needs to be in is fairly small so having the gears be a bit larger while also contacting each other would be ideal to kep its strength incase i move around alot.

actually yeah im overcomplicating it with a 5th geat so just doing 4 should be fine and make it eaiser to put together at least. honestly the only reason why i didnt want the crank to come out from the top was because I didnt want to have my hair caught in it 1 but mostly I think it looks better on the back with the knob on the back next to the ratchet release. if by meshing you mean only using 2 gears I was thinking that but I realized that i needed the gears to have a bit of a distance apart as the spool would increase in diameter as the strap enxases the spools so this was my way of fixing that problem by giving them some distance plus it would allow the gears to be at least a bit smaller. the yellow gears are just Bevel gears because thats eaiser to print and eaiser to align then using a Miter gear or worm geat.
This is probably the best way I can explain it without the previous diagram. but the Bevel gear (Yellow gears) would turn the misc gear the direction I need it to go, another gear is there to act as the 4th gear to make the to end gears go clockwise and counter clockwise but also something thats aligned so it can stop in place from turning a specific direction. then when i want to take off the googles i would hold the release button and take off the gogglesand releasing it would lock it back in place. I could probably find a way to turn the nob into both the release and the tightner but thats for another version. Sorry for the shitty drawings but this is how id explain it.
