Planetary Gear
Construction Kit (153 pcs)

This DIY Model Makes the Perfect STEAM Lesson

Demonstrate the essence of planetary gears with a tabletop model that you built yourself. This STEAM project is a great challenge for detail-oriented, advanced hobbyists while doubling as a great learning tool to show how gears work.

Once assembled correctly, the gears will actually be able to turn, demonstrating the effect planetary gears used in mechanisms as they slow down motors and increase torque. You’ll be able to demonstrate and understand how this system of gears operates, turning around 1 central sun gear.

Made of sustainable FSC certified plywood, each piece of the model is precision laser-cut and show incredible detail. In addition to over 100 pieces, the kit includes detailed, step-by-step assembly instruction to guide you through the entire building process. Also included, you’ll find candle wax for the gears, rubber bands and sandpaper.
