Extended and cutaway planetary gear

thingiverse

Another in my planetary gear series: Extended and cutaway planetary gear. See also my Planetary Gear Sphere, Planetary Gear Toroid and Planetary Gear Pumpkin. Remixed from Emmett's Gear Bearing with planet gears and sun gear extending in steps above the plane of the original bearing (planet gears higher, sun gear at the centre highest). This shows off nicely the helical gears pattern and meshing. The herringbone part of the gears (where twist changes direction) is preserved in the original base (including outer ring) part to ensure all the gears are fully captive as per the original. Update 18/08/23 Test printed with PLA+ Silk and works well/ spins freely. Looks almost metallic (see photos). Can also use as a fidget spinner If you like my design please press the Like button. ⚠Warning⚠ Be careful in environments with young children and pets! This model contains small parts.
