Planetary Gear Sphere

thingiverse

Planetary gear morphed into a spherical shape - just for fun. Can use as a fidget spinner. As the outer ring is rotated the planet gears will rotate and cause interesting variations of the shape alignment between the planets and the sphere shape - the higher edges on top of the planets will jut out when rotated causing an interesting appearance, and can act like extendable legs. The original V6 version has a truncated flat base for easy and quicker printing without supports and less material used. Update 19/08/23 : V7 full sphere version: (need to use supports for printing this version).
