Introducing the Planetary Gear Phone Stand – a unique, functional accessory that transforms your ordinary phone dock into a miniature mechanical masterpiece. This impressive design features 8 interlocking helical gears and 9 integrated print-in-place joints, all printed in just 2 parts!

Printing Tips:

• Clean, Well-Adhered Bottom Layer: A smooth first layer is crucial to ensure the gears move freely.
• Minimize Stringing and Over-Extrusion: Fine-tune your printer settings to reduce stringing and prevent excess material from fusing moving parts together.
• Build Plate Dimensions: The stand occupies a 173mm x 164mm area on the print bed and prints to a height of 60mm, making it ideal for printers with at least a 180mm x 180mm build plate.
• Post-Print Assembly: Once printing is complete, use the provided crank to firmly twist the inner drive to free the gears and help the mechanism functioning properly.

Enjoy a blend of engineering ingenuity and aesthetic appeal that’s sure to be a conversation starter on your desk or countertop!
