Description

Print-in-place planetary gear spinner. Spins freely straight off the plate.

I set up two print profiles for this model:
Heavy outer ring - prints using 43g of filament to make the outer ring heavier. This gives it a bit more inertia, but feels heavier in the hand.

Light outer ring - prints using 29g of filament. Feels lightweight in the hand and prints faster, but doesn't have as much inertia.

Both spin great - I'd say pick the print profile based on how you want it to feel in the hand.

Printed at 700% on the orangestorm giga

@Hamstah

That's so cool!

Hi, how did you print in multiple colors?

@ImpulseSV

Sick!!

Works perfectly right off the print plate. No stuck parts what so ever. The only change I made to the original profile was to change the infill pattern for the outer ring to Archimedean and that cut down the print time to 1h30m.

@Hamstah

That's a great tip! Thanks!

@LordOppo

You have gaps, I hope you have resolved this since :)

Nice print. A little bit too much tolerance between the parts I think

@user_1150393487

agree

@user_3386561738

agree, but not sure it would work well with less?

Looks nice!

@LordOppo

Printed beautiful thanks! I like the little bit of wobble, much better than it feeling grindy. For people who’s gears are getting stuck together, do a Flow Dynamics Calibration in Bambu Studio, settings are 0 to 0.040, 0.002 incraments and enter the best even line.

@LordOppo

I spotted someone had a print error and it inspired me for my 2nd print :)

@Turnerjordan

Replying to @LordOppo :

should upload a print profile with this

@LordOppo

Replying to @Turnerjordan :

I no longer have the file, but it is very easy to replicate. If want the same pattern on all items, change in the infill pattern and remove bottom and top layers. If wanting different infill different parts, highlight the model and "Split to objects" which will allow each part to have a different infill :)

Removed top and bottom layers and changed infill. turned out cool.

The designer has replied

@Hamstah

That's a really cool idea!

@ByteSlinger

Really nice design, thanks for designing and sharing. I found the stock one a little large for one handed spinning (as I like to use it) so I resized it to 50mm (down from 85mm) and adjusted the slicing settings to ensure it prints in good quality. I've added a profile for this here, called "Smaller (50mm)".

Smaller (50mm) Spinner | 0.1mm layer, 2 walls, 15% infill

Tight tolerances but I got it loose.

@13thetigger13

how? because i can't

@clnr_794

Replying to @13thetigger13 :

The inner gear was no problem, for the planetary gears I used a flat screwdriver as a pry bar between each planetary gear and the outer ring. Be careful to not to use too much force. I stopped when I heard each breaking loose...

@JAMAHA

did the print not finish or is one side supposed to be infill?

The designer has replied

@Hamstah

Afraid it looks like your print didn't finish. It should be closed on both sides. Nozzle clog maybe?

@JAMAHA

Replying to @Hamstah :

that’s what I thought. not sure what happened. I’ll have to try the print again. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Great profile, though it feels as if there is a bit more play to the gears than expected. But that might be intended

@thudson177

do they feel a bit loose? I printed the optimized version and the gears move a bit more than I'd like with the feeling like they'd fall out

printed well but the gears say quite a bit
