I needed to model something in Creo as part of an additive manufacturing class. So I decided to blow everyone else's models out of the water with my fully print-in-place planetary gear toy.
I spent a grand total of 4 days researching gear design from scratch, modeling the gears, and getting angry at Creo for being annoying.
(Update: I ended up getting a 200% grade on the assignment!!!)
^ My professor's comment on my submission of the gear assembly.
(Side Note: modeling parametric gears 100% in Creo is a pain and you shouldn't do it.)
