Description

An orrery of our solar system.


Updated with new files for gears making the print easier and the design is better! 

Updated with Larger version of the model, still fits in Prusa Mini

Whilst the planets are not to scale with each other (cause they'd be massive), I have included on the top of the base the planets' sizes compared to the sun (the base is the sun, and the raised circles on the base are the planets)

The base also acts as storage to put away all the planets if it needs to be stored, and the arms can be stored with the Axel. This model can be printed on the prusa mini

It's still not in the finalised state as I'd like it, planned improvements include:
*Add gear number to the gears for easier assembly (Like the gear arms)
*Add indentation to Earth for water so easier to paint
*Add constellations around base, or even on gears for decoration
*Improve Saturn's ring
*Add the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter
*Add moons to the planets (Probably stationary, not sure how to have them rotate around the planets)
*Add Pluto

Let me know if you think of any other improvements I could do.

Is there a step-by-step guide for putting this together? On the larger gears there isn't numbers to let me know which order they go on.

I really liked the project, I want to do it, but I have a question: which files do I need to print to get the final version?
