Planetary Gear Mechanism (fixed mesh)

cults3d

I really wanted to print Gary Hodgson's planetary gears, but I hit the same snag Sehugg encountered. It seems there's an issue with the sun gear's model that causes it to slice incorrectly, resulting in empty space where plastic should be and vice versa. So I spent about an hour fiddling around with Netfabb and Meshlab and managed to clean up the model to the point where it slices smoothly. Although Netfabb still gives me a hard time about it, Skeinforge 35 didn't raise any complaints.
