Description

This is my remix of the classic herringbone planetary gears. I added the same herringbone pattern on the inside to the outside of the model and it makes a much cleaner print and a much cooler toy.

I've printed these in tons of different color combinations, and I encourage you to try one color for the outer and inner gear, and a second (or third) color for the six interior gears.

A single color version should take about 50g, 2.5h. A dual/triple color version should take about 6-7 hours.

A triple gear alternating color print (named HERRINGBONE PRIME CUBED) should take about 6-7 hours with 30g of each filament if you calibrate low purge amounts.

I recommend setting:

bottom and top patterns to Octagram Spiral

Infill: 20-30%, lighter will spin faster and easier

3 wall loops

Seam: Aligned, which should hide it within the herringbone pattern and make it almost invisible

If you're printing with silk colors like I do, outer wall speeds should be >100mm/s. I use that as a default for an excellent surface finish with any filaments though.

I was boring and impatient and printed it in a single color. Spins really well. Makes my dogs go crazy when I spin it. My Sheltie is afraid of it and my Frenchie tries to bite it. :-)

Excellent results!

When slicing in Cura 5.2.1, in preview, it shows the outside wall is disconnected from the outermost gear. Do you have any suggestions to fix?

The designer has replied

@shumpystar

it shouldn’t affect the slice as long as the two pieces are touching. i’m not very good at cad so this was a good attempt

Replying to @shumpystar :

Ok. I will try printing it today. Thanks!

The gears are too tight and don't spin at all when you remove them from the print bed. The normal sized version works perfectly though!

@shumpystar

i’ll try my best to fix this. on my p1s this slice works perfectly so maybe it’s the filament you’re using? silks expand a bit so they might increase the tolerance. i use mostly silks.
