The file '(screwless) Hyperbolic Planetary Gear (with Orbital Gear) 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 1.9MB.
This is a further remix of the cool Hyperbolic Planetary Gearset by jsteuben.
As in my previous remix, I modified the tri-joint and connecting-rods so that no screws are needed; the entire thing now just snaps together. I also made the central "24 90" gear slightly narrower to enable the gears to spin smoothly. And I added a handle to the "small hex key" to make playing with the gears more fun :)
This time I added an outer orbital gear which counter-rotates around the center, so that this is now an actual "planetary" gearset. Due to the tapering form of the middle gears, the orbital gear stays in place without any cage. The central gear is now printed in two pieces to make assembly easier.
Please enjoy!
