High Reduction Ratio Planetary Drive

thingiverse

This model demonstrates an intriguing planetary drive variation that results in a highly reduced gear ratio. For a visual representation, check out this video: http://youtu.be/P-Obt-9tZVo. The video not only showcases its functionality but also provides helpful construction tips. To complete the project, consider creating the Tube cutting tool as well, available at: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:30619. Due to design limitations, I initially planned for metric units; however, brass tubing was only accessible in imperial sizes. As a result, the model accommodates both measurement systems, allowing for adaptability based on local materials. Simply drill out the bearing holes as necessary, depending on your region's available resources.
