This is a super compact planetary gearbox that is fully 3d printed and requires no screws (everything snaps into place). I made this for a electric screwdriver I am working on. The shaft sizes are sun = 0.125 inches (3.175mm) and planets = 0.0984252 inches (2.5mm). The sun gear has 36 teeth, planet has 18, and the ring has 72. This is a 3:1 ratio. In theory this should give me a torque of around 6.69 (losses not included) which is enough for a small electric screwdriver when in a stack of 3 (27:1) ratio. This is a very compact design which is needed for my project and will be helpful for other compact geared projects. If you need a different planet carrier here is the planet coordinates assuming sun gear is (0,0) in your chosen design software.
