Description

Hey,

You will need: 2 Big Gear 1 2 Big Gear 2 2 Small Gear 3 2 Small gear 4 1 Heart 8 connectors (try the file named "connector" first)

There is also a File named All that has everything you need on it.

Print settings: I used a brim, but you can get away without one if you like to life risky.

Assembly: Watch this Video: https://youtu.be/btxHkHjIkWg

Troubleshooting: The pins Break: Try scaling them. I did include a couple of different versions. Try them all. You can also try printing them with another spool of filament. Maybe even another Material. As a last resort, scale the Connector in your slicer untill it fits your needs.

Printed the Gearball 2.0 with Luminous Melody (Glow in the Dark) PLA and it came out perfectly, no need to print any adjustments. the other 3 i had printed for my niece and nephews needed some adjustments with the clip/connectors and they work wonderfully as well! Thanks for the great creation.
Very nice model. I used Amolen dual color silk PLA and CC3D gold and silver silk PLA. Provided connectors didn't work for me. The standard was a bit too tight and too weak. The strong and long version was too lose and hard to place inside the heart. In the end I reverse-engineered my own connectors. They're average in length, more sturdy but not so wide on the outside, so they're easier to install. I also designed a tool to help me insert them. I used silicone lube inside the gears and heart holes and also on the interface surface to improve the spinning.
Gear ball 2.0. Eryone silk rainbow. I like this smaller version of the Gear Ball.
Originally I thought the fit was pretty loose but someone on YouTube said to scale the connector 98%x103%x103% and that was a much better fit (I made the connectors with PETG). Upgrades to printer -Brass Z axis coupler -BTT SKR mini E3 control board
I'm fairly new and have limited troubleshooting experience so i'm looking for help to diagnose why this failure occurred. Using ERYONE Silk PLA and their recommend temps. TIA

Printed in Polymaker PLA PolyTerra, heart and pins in ColorFabb PLA/PHA which is more flexible, does not "snap break" and also more slick so no need for any lubricant. All fits just right with basic pins. Thank you. Printed on Prusa MK4 with inputShaper 0.2mm structural

Thanks. I'm loving trying these out with some really cool filament colours. I've been giving them out to students as a reward for good science work and they love them 🥰
