3D model description

This "planetary gear set" or epicyclic gear train is a system consisting of one or more outer gears, or planetary gears, revolving around a central or solar gear. Used by the Greeks, the device received its name from its first application, modeling the motions of the planets in the heavens. Around 500 BC, the Greeks invented the idea of epicycles, of circles traveling in circular orbits, and with this theory they were able to approximate the elliptical path of the moon across the heavens.

3D printing settings

Print at a layer height of 00.20 mm, with 25% infill. This takes 137 minutes and uses 21.7 g of filament.
