The diameters of these planets are scaled to each other, just like the distances between them and their orbits around the sun. Their relative rotational speeds around the sun are also perfectly aligned. The custom labels for the planets were made using a special tool called Customizer (with settings set at 8mm height and 2mm depth): https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:714444 You'll need a build plate that's at least 200x200 mm to print this model, especially when it comes to the Mars arm. Three M4 screws and some glue will be necessary for assembling the planets and their labels. Make sure to lubricate the mechanism well, as the tolerances are quite tight. This project was heavily inspired by another amazing design: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3428770. Thank you so much to the creator! Video: https://youtu.be/vGm5uqJv3sE
