3D Printed Planetary gear
I 3d printed this in one piece on a machine called the Fortus 380mc.
Here are two more that I printed with the white support material still inside.
It's pretty cool.
I added more gears, each gear is 4 to 1, so for ever time the top gear spins, the bottom green one spins 256 times!
3D printed planetary gear, only green ;P
Edit: Thanks for all the love! I spent a ton of time building this and I'm happy everyone likes it. If you'd like to buy the STL file, you can at www.3dmac.io. Keep making, Imgur!

Thank you!

I want 1...or a few more. How do I acquire 1 OP? How muc?

Concept idea that could be employed in generators?

The resistance produced by the magnetic field would increase so the motive force would have to increase to compensate

.... okay but whats with the flag
kwkspectre
It was printed.

IN ONE PIECE? With a surface finish like this? What kind of black magic is this? Have technology gone too far?

In my wildest dreams maybe

Why though?

What's with the flag?
3Rsim
I feel he missed his freedom opportunity by not printing them. In red white and blue.
3dmac
I 3d printed the flag as well!

STL please? <3

I wanna see the inside of that thing!
BigFckingRocket
Do you work for Stratasys because that company is dope
3dmac
I used to! now I work on my own businesses! Teaching CAD and making at MIT, and driving around in a maker bus!

Can you post the file??? I want one

Can you put more gears and get the last one to get supersonic?
3dmac
Yes, the next layer would spin 1024 times!

I'm no physicist but holy shit this is magic!!! It must be an invisible Jesus spinning that bottom one!

Physicist here. It's not. Just low friction.

And a large mechanical advantage
MrDragonfyr
Mind me asking what machine / 3d printer you use?
HelloToe
If you have to ask, you can't afford it. https://www.aniwaa.com/product/3d-printers/stratasys-fortus-380mc/
MrDragonfyr
What? Lol
HelloToe
It's in the OP.
kwkspectre
This machine is also capable of printing the part: https://www.aniwaa.com/product/3d-printers/stratasys-f270/

By far, one of the coolest things about 3D printing is their ability to print "impossible" things!
3dmac
I agree!
SuddenRandomFinnishGuy
Sooo... What is it for?
Taalii
Spinning.
artemasrukh
This one? Internet videos? Otherwise? Mechanical advantage, useful for different gears on a bike/car, they use a similar mechanism.

Humvees (h1) have planetary gears in each wheel hub to multiply the torque to each wheel.

Same use as a fidget spinner, but way cooler.
nefariousRake
Clean up on that support must be a royal pain in the ass
3dmac
It all dissolves! really easy!
nefariousRake
I’d love some dissolving filament, but I’d need a dual extruder to use it as support.

.stl file plz sob

That’s pretty sick.. also go Trojans! crazy to see an old classmate on here.

ccgreen139
Couple questions, how much infil, Any extra splicer settings, what splicer? it looks great and is it possible to scale it down?
kwkspectre
Probably 100% infill and he used the Insight or GrabCad software that Stratasys has for their machines. Should be scalable as long as...
kwkspectre
...the components remain large enough to move discreetly.
