planitarium planets with stand

I've completely overhauled this from scratch. Here's a list of some key improvements, so many changes that it's hard to keep track: All four major planets now have rings, which seems peculiar since we only hear about Saturn's rings in school and aren't informed that there are four planets with rings, not just one. Each planet has its own arms. Every planet tilt is now set correctly, with square posts ensuring they remain properly aligned. Posts and arms are printed flat on the bed for a precise fit. You can easily remove the Pluto arm and planet if you choose, complete with a placard without Pluto. Here's the entire solar system display and planets, with the stand remixed from http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1038829. I've added a new placard and stand without Pluto, allowing you to take a stance on this contentious issue or not. About two years ago, officially, it was removed from academic learning and the planet list. So, paint Pluto with a distinctive color on the placard and planet itself, like a vibrant hue that sparks curiosity - why is Pluto red when all others are black? Because we're still unsure what Pluto is. Pluto has been left on the planets' placard because it remains in the disputed state of neither planet nor asteroid. Despite having a planetary orbit, it was initially considered a planet but then argued to be an asteroid due to its unique orbit. However, since it's not in the Kuiper belt and doesn't share that type of orbit, it can't be classified as an asteroid. This is my hypothesis: Pluto might be the remnants of a planet knocked out of its orbit by an asteroid, altering its orbital pattern. In the future, I believe it will be categorized as a new class of planet remains. This is just my take on things; only time will tell.
