Print in Place Planetary Gear Spinner #3DThursday #3DPrinting

According to the Adafruit Blog, makers can now 3D print a fully functional planetary gear spinner in a single go. The design uses a print-in-place technique, meaning the spinning mechanism arrives ready to use straight off the printer bed. Two versions are available—a standard model and a heavier variant with a reinforced outer ring that adds inertia for smoother rotation. It's this week's featured 3D printing project.
