This is a customized model of the solar system. Using a 3D printer, you can build an exact replica of our universe in your own home or office. Just follow these easy steps to create a scale model that fits all 8 planets perfectly into one base. First, make sure your printer is set to print in high resolution. Next, adjust the dimensions so they fit on the page properly. Twist angle: 1° Tolerance of gears and joints: 0.15 mm Base diameter of planet model (sun included): 670mm In this design, you'll find the sun represented by a sphere that contains 9 miniature teeth arranged around its circumference to indicate the approximate number of planets. Planets range from tiny Mercury at about 2.3 cm in size to giant Jupiter with a scale dimension of about 11.6 cm. Earth sits nicely at an average height of 7 cm. To achieve accuracy and efficiency, this design makes use of modular connections. By selecting options on the customizer, you can tailor the size and number of planetary bodies included as per your preferences. **Using The Following Options:** 1. **Twist Angle**: You want the model's orbit path to deviate slightly from circular due to centrifugal forces in action. Select from a range of twists up to 20 degrees. 2. **Tolerance Of Gears And Joints**: Pick your desired tolerance for fit between components so your final build won't feel clunky. 3. **Base Diameter**: If you need more space, increase base dimensions - it'll just print slower but be roomier inside when complete. 4. **Planetary Count**: Simply adjust numbers of bodies according to which planets matter most - some enthusiasts favor our closest four. 5. **Number Of Planets Included In The Model**: Make a choice about including 2-8 Earth's neighboring companions based upon what inspires you.
