Semi - Print in Place Epicyclic Gear - Kinetic Art

This is a posting for only the epicyclic gear at the top of my kinetic artwork featured in the cover photo. The larger piece will have it's own posting (eventually) and will credit the maker of the Seiko Ratchet mechanism which I remixed. 

I left 0.3mm tolerances between each printed in place component. The printed screws thread in with 0.1mm tolerance. 

Print 3 of the ‘15z Gear w_screw’ and 1 of each of the other components.
