I designed it in autocade.

This is incredible! Can I ask you what software you use to create this?

Not sure.... The only thing I have ever done with it is sit it on my desk. =)

Any idea how much torque you can get from the output?

Any chance of posting a DXF file for us laser folks to be able to cut from? Thx-GMT

Sure I will post it tonight.

How much space have you left between gears? I tried another planetary gear rig and I couldn't get things to fit together.

The post that the planet gears sit on flex just a tad this alows for easy insertion the sun gear is snug but i didn't have any problems getting it in. I think it's worth giving it a try. Just sit the planet gears on the planet gear holder then insert it into the outer gear once it's in line up the sun gear and slide it in.

Do you have a video working?

Unfortunately I don't have a video of it turning.
