I used the 0.16 High Quality preset in the Bambu Studio. I used iSANMATE PLA+ Rainbow Filament which I've been very happy with. It looks like they have a brighter version of the matte rainbow available now. I also scaled the print up to 150%.
This is an awesome tip and it made my prints look awesome. (Thanks, Bambu!) If anyone in the future comes here though, make sure Supports are turned off. I just had some fun with that one 😂 (Brim is okay, per the print instructions)
Awesome, I made all sorts of modifications to the parameters to test it out and the final parameters allowed me to print out a very silky smooth spinning gear star, I love it so much.
Dear RuvenBals, I printed out the parts and assembled them according to your design, but when I turned the gears I found that they are not so smooth, I tried to apply some lubricant, but the result is still not good, I don't know what solution to solve it?
For future users, the 'gear 2.0 all' file is missing one 'small gear 2' and one 'small gear 3'. its a wonderful print but you need to add those two small gears to the 'all' file.
when i print just the connecters they are not the right ones for this gear ball.. they are to short.. but when i print the all file they are correct. so the all file is great but i don't like printing them all together because of the brim on the connecters is a pain to get off.
I love this model. What settings are you all using for the connectors? Mine seem to be a bit too fragile. PLA? PETG? Infill? For me, the small "arms" are what get stressed on insertion and then are easily removed/break.

Super clean print! Can you share you settings or post-print process?

replacement connector file received and all works well. Thanks Ruvenbals for the support
I used PLA/PHA from ColorFabb, its more flexible but firm as PLA and does not snap break as PLA normaly does.

Hey, i use plain Pla with the standard bambu settings. Some People coud fix this by using PETG instead of PLA.
