My little boy (aged 4 who has autism and is obsessed with planets 😊) absolutely loves this video he watches it so many times a day, and I’ve had to buy him a wooden version quite similar, so now he plays your video side by side with his own musical solar system whilst watching yours 🥰
Hy, I know this video from 3 years ago but may I know list of each gear specifically bcs we have a school project and we decided to makes this solar system just add a bit components. Oh and then how you calculate the ratio pls 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for the amazing design - I had a lot of fun doing this, and certainly learned a lot along the way. As for looking better? I think that's purely subjective - yours blew my socks off the moment I saw it. Knew I had to have my own right away. I am an electrician to trade so adding light and more wires was always playing to my strengths. Still haven't decided what to do next... You working on anything interesting?
Thanks. Actually I am working on building the 6th 3d printer with many bells and whistles. The twist is it can also engrave/etch using a diamond tip drag bit like I use in one of my other videos. It will also cut using a drag knife. The nice thing is you do not have to remove the extruder at all. I should be finished with it this week and a video will follow. Congrats again on a great build and thanks for sharing! Take care.
Hi! The black frame parts took a whole roll. The cogs are about 1kg in total - I already had quite a few rolls lying around from previous prints so was able to do them in appropriate colours. There's 100+ 3d printed parts at 1-4 hours print time each. Around 250 hours print time without failures or reprints (of which I had a lot) All in it took me 3 months of fully dedicated spare time - it has been the most fun and ambitious project I've ever attempted. I was very happy with the end result.
I am very much infinitely grateful to the Almighty that he created our solar system in such a way that there was ideal order and harmony. Like all other star systems, throughout our Milky Way galaxy. And others in all galaxies.
This is pretty awesome. What filament did you use to print it? ABS, PLA, PETG? I can see this would have taken considerable time to print. With the motor running at the speed in the video, how noisy is it all? Do the gears tend to run fairly smoothly?
Hi, it's all PLA, mostly Eryone brand from Amazon here in the UK. Around 2kg total but I wanted all different colours for each planet so ended up buying like 7 rolls. The motor and gears are fairly quiet, very similar sound that's in the background of the music track that's playing - similar to Lego gears and motor. All the gears run really smoothly with the exception of the Moon one. I redesigned that whole section from the original instructions as his Moon was orbiting the wrong direction (everything in our solar system orbits retrograde, anti-clockwise as you look down from the North Pole.
@@EsotericArctos my SSD died recently and I lost a lot of files, including all the orrery stuff. I did upload the calendar dial to Thingyverse, I've tried to link it here before and it didn't work so you'll find it if you search up "orrery dial"
Really appreciated the video!! I also wanted to make a 3D printed orrery for my school project, but it seems very overwhelming at the planning stages... Would you please give me some tips to help me get started? I just began learning about gears so maybe even a little can help a lot!! Thxxx =)
Hello again! This is a massive undertaking and you should not underestimate any part of it. First thing to worry about is getting the parts ordered - I'm in the UK and mostly used Ebay. I had to use all metric sizes for the hardware, but managed to get imperial tubes. Using metric screws and rods meant that all the holes were too small - had to go at them all with a 5 and 6mm drill bit. Handy to have a selection a drill bits. The instructions on Instructibles will get you 90% of the way there but there's some things you'll just need to figure out youself - if you have a history of making things then you'll be fine. Printing all the parts is really easy but it's easy to get them mixed up - label things as you print. Building the gearbox part is about half the job, and was straight forward - fitting the rods and planets was very difficult. I underestimated this, but easily took half of the build time. I changed the size of the planets so didn't follow the cutting guide for the rods - instead I just bent them one at a time, after printing the planets. I had a lot of bother with cutting the tubes to the corerect size and ended up having to reprint some of the clamps a few mm shorter to fit the tube that was left poking out. If you search up "orrery dial" on Thingyverse you can fing the 3d printed bezel I designed to replace the paper printed part from the design. Use the strongest epoxy (or similar) glue to stick the tubes to the gears as the take a fair amount of torque and become inaccessible. Use the blob of solder on each tube as per the added instruction, it is really needed. Good luck and I'm happy to answer any questions you have along the way.
@@Guest.uttptroll Hi, I saw that model and was definitely considering adding it to the project queue. I gather you would like to see a motorized version? I will certainly give it a shot - takes a few months to put these things together, but, watch this space I guess:)
I have added links in the video description now as UA-cam doesn't like them in the comments. Thanks for watching and good luck if you are building one for yourself.
I'm not able to measure it right now, but from memory it is approximately 400mm high to the top of the sun. It's around 600mm wide in the closed position.
I want to print this, but I was curious. Is it able to slow down so it always reflects the current positions of the objects in the solar system? Basically real-time and not flying around at high speed.
Hi! I don't think that's possible with the current gear ratios - you'd need a huge reduction set on the input to allow the motor to spin at a reasonable speed. Also, I think the movement of the planets would be imperceptible to the naked eye. Neptune takes 164 Earth years to complete a single orbit so that's more than two human lifetimes. I've yet to see an orrery that is designed to be real time, as pretty sure even the largest brass geared ones still only show the orbits relative to each other, but still spin fast enough to see with the naked eye. Guess the best way to spin it super slowly would be to add some form of hand crank gear. I'll be interested to hear how you get on with the print and possible additions to the design Good luck and thanks for watching
@@kaisersaucy1 how about a stepper motor that only "steps" every so often? How slow would you say that the motor needs to turn? I could control this with an arduino.
@@robhopper5729 Hi! Sorry for late reply, I've been considering the validity of your idea to use a stepper... I don't think the gears are fine toothed enough to give you continual rotation at the speed you require, but recon you could set it to turn once a day or so. The motor I use in the video goes from 30-60 rpm I think so that'll give you an idea on the speed reduction needed. If you're going for a micro controller and stepper then no reason you couldn't have two programs - one that spins fast and another that remembers its place to go back to real time positions again. I'll look forward to seeing whatever you can come up with.
It's so amazing, it took your intellect and calculation to do that. But when it comes to god, people say it's a coincidence and blind force without any intervention of intelligence. This video of yours gave me a sign that indeed god exists.
Hi! The Moon is tidally locked to the Earth so that doesn't spin in the real solar system. With this model the planets are just on metal rods so there's no way to make them rotate. It is extremely complex to do this - check out ua-cam.com/video/yKS7C0dC-bU/v-deo.html to see just how complex the gearing gets when you want to add more axes.
Me parece muy interesante la verdad Fabuloso me gustaria replicarlo para mi nieta me darias un tic de la flecha central que mueve los planetas GRacias hasta pronto
Hi! To change colours, you pause the print and change the filament, then restart the print for each layer. You can babysit the print and just eyeball when to pause (this is what I did) or you can modify your g-code to pause at each height you want (more complex than eyeball method) Good luck
Hi! Each planet has its own gear ratio to suit its orbit. For every time Earth goes around once, Venus goes around 4.4 times. Outer planets take many years to complete one orbit - Neptune takes 164.5 years to do a single orbit around the Sun. I also fitted a potentiometer to control the speed of the motor, so I can adjust the actual speed. This makes everything spin faster, but it will always be relative to the Earth orbit. Thanks for watching
