Planetary Gear Box

pinshape

A compact box grasps its base firmly with hooks anchored on planetary gear systems. Unlike conventional planetary gear sets, this design omits a central sun gear; instead, a triangular support holds the three components in precise alignment relative to each other. Print Settings: Printer: M3D Micro Resolution: 0.2 mm Infill: Low Assembly Notes: The lid comprises all parts except the base. Pins easily snap into place without any fuss. The base can be printed with minimal or no support, provided your bridging skills are up to par (a top-down print is recommended for accurate gear tooth alignment). Some gentle wobbling of pins may occur during proper assembly. Edit: A recent update features new pin plates with significantly reduced wobble. For a neater and more secure fit, insert the pins through the lid before securing them into the gears; however, either method will produce acceptable results.
