Planetary Egg Container

Planetary Egg Container

How it works The bottom outside shell is the ring gear, the outer top shell is the carrier, and the inner shell is the sun gear. Rotating the bottom shell while holding the top shell results in the plant gears rotating inner shell at a 3:1 ratio. 

Print instructions Its roughly 112mm tall, prints in place, designed for a .4mm nozzle, .2mm layer heights, no supports at 100%. There is a 4mm hex hole in the sun gear to free it up the gears if necessary.

Remove the brims There are four built in brims attached to the sun gear that will need to be removed, I did so easily with side cutters
