At the end of the video, we will also do some backlash and torque tests to see how well it can perform being a 3D printed gearbox. 00:00 What is Planetary Gear Set? 03:37 Two-Stage Planetary Gearbox Design 06:56 Design Rules 08:38 Gears Module 09:15 Designing the Gearbox 12:45 3D Printing 13:25 Assembling 17:22 Backlash Test 19:22 Torque Test Visit HowToMechatronics.com for more Tutorials, Tips, Projects and How It Works videos: ► http://howtomechatronics.com/ Like my page on Facebook: ► https://www.facebook.com/howtomechatronics
