Personally, I'd switch over to a stepper motor. Not because you can't gear down a blender, but because it's still gonna be as loud as a blender

Indeed a stepper moter with a good quality stepper driver. That will be way better than whatever this blender will do. And on top of that Stepper motors are usually quite cheap.

Print them in low temp filament and using the lost wax casting method, cast them from aluminum.

I use a planetary gearbox, but in reverse, to speed up the output. 3 stacked layers gets me something like a 64x ratio, which I use to launch propeller disks high into the air!

I don't know if anybody else pointed this a blender is not meant for constant run time. Could try to get a fan motor for HVAC

We got Blender googol before GTA 6

It blends together nicely.

At first I thought the blender would be way overkill, especially the speed, but this is turning into something a bit more interesting than just finding the appropriate motor and attaching it.

@printmeister

Agreed! I’ve had so many comments suggesting something to slow the motor down. At this point though, I’m actually questioning the blenders power.

In the wine industry we use a barrel washer for flushing out sediment from used barrels. It has a three tiered planetary gear system that uses a water pressure powered impeller to rotate the gears and (thusly) the spaying head (which has a separate differential gear assembly). The lubricant for the assembly is the water itself. This is fascinating, but it is not new technology.

That's gonna need quite the supportive base. Can't wait to see it finished!

Hey it looks even better keep up the goodwork and i cant wait for the end product

Three years from now this will be a metal 3-D printed gear, set to make any blender, a meat, grinder or juicer

Love how a piece of the sun gear goes flying when he turns the blender on and how he just cuts to the next frame like it never happened.

"Look at that" was like a proud dad moment

reminds me of when i used to service truck winches. they are hypnotic to play with when bored 😂

The fist stage is most likely what is in the food processor accessory that came with my blender. It works great because it probably has metal gears inside.

I have never seen a 3D print person make something that actually does something useful that something cheap couldn't already do

Ending I can conclude that this dude's intention is to move Earth from it's axis.

As an adult I’m in love with this mech already

Using a blender motor is a great way to fail before you even begin

Strangely, it doesn't crush ice anymore. But it does caress it veeeeeeery strongly.

Judging from the amount of white shards that just went flying from that first stack of gears when you turned it on, it's not long for this world...

Finally, someone made me understand how planetary gears work!

Really cool, i appreciate you showing off these concepts. Obviously i hope everyone knows these plastic gears aren't gonna have enough tensile strength to withstand a high torque load but it's the concepts and understand it that i feel was more the point.

This is almost identical to what's in the hub of my electric bike. Cool

Thank you! Much appreciated!!

Wow, cou actually made the blender work! Its super loud and uses more power than necessary, but you made it work, thats awesome!

For those wondering what the use is, heavy equipment or anything that needs to be repetitively moved and is very large is generally using these. Such as for example there’s a wheel on a machine will use one set of planetary gears which is normally three set on a sun gear which is the axle, thus when the differential spins the axle, it in turn turns the wheel at a higher torque.

That would be an amazing psyche-out saw trap. “Turn this wheel after 100 new gear-solar systems one time to get out”

“Lookithat” This guy’s a Real one.

Love that you can see the first one breaking apart as he runs it for just a second

I’m sure you’ve heard this enough times from have-nots or has-beens but there’s a really good reasons our automobile engines aren’t made of this plastic or ceramic. 🎉 Cheers on the craft, love where it’s heading though! I agree it is fun to see the gears turn!

I can’t wait for metal 3d printing to be as affordable and easy to use as plastic printing. So much of what we buy will be replaced by being able to make it yourself, even more-so than plastic 3d printing.

You can print the bearing too. Theres some simple ones on printables that work amazingly

Can you make a stone crusher with home blender?

Thought this was the RAW guy showing us a new smoking accessory

I like how they look like fidget spinners 😂

him: my blender my brain: what is that? a electric kettle?

I remember messing with the set of planetary gears in my transmission when I rebuilt it, very satisfying to mess with

Really cool❤ god bless u❤

I actually made one of those into a fidget toy, definitely worth it

Wow they can handle the torque and spin

Love it, you made a simple transmission. Very cool. you want some harder plastic though, I can see it blowing apart on you.

My favorite part is the small flecks of plastic jumping out on that first test.

I’ve Seen those exact gears in threading machines for steel I make commercial fishing gear and we use a machine that drills threads into holes for screws using that exact type of planetary gears.

The gear effect looks like one of those clock that run on steam.

There's already a gear reduction experiment like what you're talking about with your extensions. The gear reductions are carried out in a different arrangement and don't use planetary gears but with just a couple of handfuls of generations of gear reductions the last gear doesn't appear to move. The math says that last gear is moving but it will make one complete rotation some billion years or so AFTER the heat death of the universe.

In theory if u got enough, i mean ENOUGH of that extension. It can lift the entire universe 😂

"With enough of these extensions, we can move the earth."

If they're made of metal, or hard-enough plastic/polymer, then you can make a *really portable winch* the size of your blender or biggest tumbler to lift a car engine

The bananas for your smoothie will rot before they become blended enough.

I think my guy just rediscovered transmissions 💀🤣

You know. You could make a seriously powerful engine with that. If you metal cast the gears, you could make an aluminum airplane engine.

When you get bored with your 3d printer but then notice your blender in the corner of your room.

The red gears resemble LEGO's 16 tooth clutch gears.

A blender's purpose is to blend and that requires speed. It's not a cement mixer.

That’s cool

I feel like that would be a full Proteinshake mixer.

This is turning out to be amazing but you still need to figure out the sound so that it’s not loud maybe you could make a muffler to go with the gearboxes

Thanks! The muffler would be a fun project too!! I have a much quieter stepper motor that I’m going to use if/when the gearbox fails or is too loud.

You can make a cool clock out of that

The duty cycle on the blender gives it something like a 30 min run time before all the smoke gets let out.

Use it the opposite way, attach the motor to the second planetary gear and make the blade spin at like 9000000000000000rpm

Bro basically made an automatic transmission for his blender.

Because of how that plastic was printed you're going to have extremely high friction ratios on them gear bearings and it's going to generate a stupid amount of heat over any prolonged use which is just going to cause the gears to melt down There's a good reason why gears went from being wood to being made out of metal

This is how raisebore machines are made that have enough torque to make huge kilometer holes in rock

And it's really cool to think this is exactly how the transmission in your vehicle works

Man just explained how most standard automatic transmissions work

What is the purpose of gearing down your blender? Is the plastic strong enough to take the increased torque?

With enough torque this became the automatic transmission on the minivan that your mom takes you to school in

Missed opportunity to show the most popular reason for a planetary gear set. If you hold the planetary set down you have a different speed entirely. Having two of those and clutches between the two gear boxes is how most 4 speed automatics were made

Dude basically recreated how an automatic transmission works

that will melt the gears if u won't use lubricant or eventually broke them due to the torque
