My first attempt at a kite reel using a planetary gear set with a sinusoidal profile instead the boring way.

Planetary gear kite real. Gears are print in place, I used PETG, but I have printed these in PLA just fine. It is my first attempt at a kite reel and I discovered that while you get great reduction and ease of pulling in the kite, it takes a while to reel it in. It does not need to have any sort of stop that I have found due to the reduction. 
Kite is assembled with M3 thread forming screws and a single eye bolt. I used an eye bolt for wood purchased at the big box store. 
the print in place gears should just snap on to the main handle. 
I will add more detail in the coming days.
