🌀 Fidget Spinner with Planetary Gearbox (Double Helical Gears)
Description:
A stylish fidget spinner combined with a functional planetary gear system. It features six planet gears rotating around a central sun gear, all enclosed in a ring with internal teeth. The gears are double helical, which ensures smooth and quiet operation — no bearings required.
Ideal as a tech gadget, educational model, or just a fun and tactile fidget toy.
Print Recommendations:
- Layer height: 0.16 mm
- Perimeters: 2x
- First layer compensation: -0.1 mm
- Seam position: random
- XY outline compensation: -0.02 mm
- Make sure the print bed is properly degreased (e.g., with IPA)
- Due to tight tolerances, some post-print freeing of parts may be required
- If you don't have perfectly calibrated filament profile (flow) decrease it slightly.
Note:
Prints in one piece — no assembly needed!
For even smoother spinning, you can add a few drops of oil to the gears.
