About this print
A herringbone planetary gear set, listed under toys and games. Planetary gear assemblies consist of a central sun gear, orbiting planet gears, and an outer ring gear, and are commonly printed as demonstration or educational models showing how gear reduction works in practice. The herringbone tooth profile improves meshing smoothness and reduces the tendency for gears to slip under load. PLA prints the interlocking teeth cleanly at standard settings and is suitable for a display model or low-load demonstration.

Printing HERRINGBONE PLANETARY GEAR
For HERRINGBONE PLANETARY GEAR we would normally reach for PETG — it is tougher and more heat-resistant than PLA, ideal for parts that take load or live somewhere warm. We set the layer height, wall count, infill and supports to suit the model and how you will use it, and those choices are already priced into your instant quote. Want a specific colour or material? Tell us and we will match it where we can.
