Vase Mode Herringbone Planetary Gearset

prusaprinters

<p>Just a quick print I put together out of a childlike fascination with planetary gears and vase mode printing.</p> <p>Each of the gears in this planetary gearset are meant to be printed in vase/spiral mode without any bottom layers. This results in quick print times and a surprisingly fun, slightly flexible, planetary gearset.</p> <p>I've experimented some with turning this model into an actual useful mechanism, such as a bearing, and had relatively positive results. In that case the sun and ring gears were printed solid as part of the axle and bearing race. I still printed the planets in vase mode which aided in assembly.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Prusa</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>I3 MK3S</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>.2</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>Make sure to set your slicer to zero bottom layers.</p></div> </p></p> Category: Mechanical Toys
