This is a fidget toy for my desk that I designed to fit over my large thumb. The gears can be easily moved using the knob on top of the inner sun gear, or the large outer ring gear. The outer ring gear can be slid/wiggled up and down the planet gears to where you want it. My thumb is quite large, so if you want the inner diameter of the main body modified to be smaller let me know in the comments.Required Parts3x M2 washers and screws1x M3 washer and screw3x M2 ruthex inserts1x M3S ruthex insert (M3 would also work)PrintingThe model is designed to be printed directly on the print bed with no supports. I used a 0.4 nozzle with a 0.2mm layer height for everything, and printed the above model using Extrudr NX-2 neon yellow and black.AssemblingRuthex InsertsInstall the 3x M2 ruthex inserts in the 3 arms of the main body that form the carrier for the planet gears.Install the M3S ruthex insert in the hole in the middle of the top of the main body.GearsPlace the large ring gear carefully over
