About this model
This is a development from Planetary 02 uploaded previously. All gears reduced in size for a more pocketable gearset. Each planet gear now has a 3mm hex center, for driving the assembly once it's freed, but also to help free the assembly. Slide a 3mm hex/allan key into each gear, and gently flex the gear toward and away from the sun gear to break it free after printing. Once all 10 gears are free, the assembly should start rotating with the rotation of one of the planet gears. Movement will be rough to start but will free up the more you spin it and any fine printing strands get worn in or worn off. The center spider was added to allow the addition of a driving point... In this case a 4mm hex/allan key. Do not try to break the gears free by just using a 4mm key in the planet gear and twist…
