Description:

Introducing the Herringbone Planetary Gear/Bearing Set, a masterpiece for any enthusiast of mechanical engineering. This 3D model is intricately designed to showcase the workings of planetary gears. Its herringbone teeth design not only gives it an elegant look but also provides a smooth motion with minimal backlash. What makes it even more special is an optional HoneyComb design which can be incorporated to add that extra flair.

Sizes:
This set includes six different sizes:

30mm diameter x 10mm thickness
30mm diameter x 20mm thickness
45mm diameter x 15mm thickness
45mm diameter x 30mm thickness
60mm diameter x 20mm thickness
60mm diameter x 40mm thickness
Applications:

Educational tool for learning about gears and bearings
Functional prototype for small-scale mechanical projects
Unique desk ornament or conversation piece
Customizable component for robotics and DIY projects
Features:

Herringbone gear teeth for smoother, quieter operation and minimal backlash.
Optional HoneyComb outer shell design for an aesthetic touch.
Detailed, high-precision 3D model.
Customizable sizes for different applications.
Easy to print with standard FDM 3D printers.
Printing Recommendations:

Material: PLA for ease of printing, or PETG for better strength and durability.
Layer Height: 0.2mm for an optimal balance between detail and printing time.
Infill: 20% for the gears; 10% for the HoneyComb shell (if used).
Supports: Not required.
Note: It's advisable to use a high-quality slicer to ensure precision in the gears' teeth.
Assembly:
Once the parts are printed, they can be easily assembled by snapping the planetary gears into the bearing. No glue is required, but a drop of lubricant on the gears can make the movement even smoother.
