_it doesn’t work at all yet_

the code got messy trying to push thru to making a physical object quickly

i think i need to understand gear teeth better so one gear drives the other

it seems to get stuck at the peaks and troughs which maybe aligns with me not designing them but just connecting the curves :)

it’s cool to print the helical shape. i used a library makerspace i hadnt used before so it wasnt the same printer that made the working bearing. the planets are stuck into the ring and sun. the lasercut is a much easier and faster test, it cuts in 29 seconds compared to printing in an hour.
