About this model
A functional and fun set of planetary gears that look like they should not work...but they do. Based on Reuleaux Triangle bearings and shapes of constant width. Have fun! Note: While I have printed these files successfully on my CR-10S with minimal issues, it seems like a lot of users are having problems with clearance. In response, I have uploaded the individual components, that can then be assembled post-print by flexing the external ring gear. Youtube link:
