Planetary Gear - Tube

thingiverse

**Not a remix but heavily inspired by the gear bearing available from the Prusa website. A planetary gear set which easily screws together to connect the gears in series. The rotor connects between each planetary gear and then the gears are screwed together. No specific use at the moment (work in progress), but my hope is that others will be able to make fun useful mechanical devices starting from here! How to make it: For each planetary gear, print: 6 screwpins, 1 rotor and 1 sun post. ** So that the pieces don't break early, print the pins and posts on their side. All parts will screw together and slide together. Then slide the pins into the 6 planet gears. The sun post will connect from the rotor to the sun gear (the center gear) of the next planetary gear you print. I'd love to see what you people build with it. Good luck and show off your handiwork, if you get the chance.
