Instructions
I found it useful to have an extra nut on both the start and end last sections to secure everything in place.
It's almost impossible to see the last stage turning... but it is.
It sits pride of place next to my 3D printer and attracts a lot of attention.

I've tried lots of differents settings for printing nuts and bolts, but i can't do it. The thread is too "inflated" and then you can't screw anything on that.
Could you recommend me good print settings for a 0.5 noozzle?
Thanks
Sorry O:-) I just updated

with even longer bolts :-D
Any possibility to post dxf files (made from stl files) for us poor folk with laser engraving machines? I've made a single planetary gearing system on a laserr - fixed sun, rotating
planets and rotating ring gear... it was net as all the planets turned equally together and a new alignment would happen every 240 degrees. The DXF files would be like looking at the end and saving... in the case of a sun gear fixed to a planet "spindle".. it's
would be easy to make a "layered" piece and glue together as the transfer piece to the next set of planet gears. thx GMT

Dunno if that's a guinness record (I know, no, it isn't) but I can tell you that I'm gonna taste a guinness beer to celebrate this derivative :)
I'm glad you like it, It's a really great model, thanks for designing it.
I have printed out lots of extra parts just to fiddle with them, long bolts and lots of the coloured nuts just look so cool. 8-)
And I'm very tempted to print a really massive Planetary Gears Set now :)

Umm, what happened to all the files here? All that's left is the bolt file.
These are just longer bolts for the original by aubenc, so you can have many more stages. not a lot of point in me adding the other files.
