Moon Phase Teaching Aid
I. Printing Instructions
No hardware required. If you don't have a multi-color kit, you can print in pure white and hand-paint it with markers after printing.
For multi-color printing, it is recommended to use a 0.2mm nozzle for printing: base model, which can make the text clearer.
To save time, use a 0.4mm nozzle with markers to touch up missing strokes.
II. Assembly Diagram
Assembly is simple, just stack them in order and then fasten with nuts.
Since both the sun and the rod are rotatable, please do not overtighten the nuts, as this will affect the smoothness of rotation.
III. Key Points of Moon Phase Changes
Refer to the explanation.
Summary: The moon doesn't shine, the sun helps it glow; it revolves around the Earth, changing its appearance every day!
Cycle: From new moon to the next new moon, approximately 29.5 days (about one month)
