@Marian This is such a beautiful project! Any updates? Do you have pictures with the planets mounted? Thanks!

Great to hear you’re interested! The project has been on pause for some time, but I haven’t given up.

It’s not in a place where it’s working well at the moment. Since I moved away from Guildford, I don’t have access to SHM anymore, but I recently bought a CNC machine, so I should be able to cut acrylic, aluminium and brass (just need to learn CAM…). I think I will work on the plans some more and build a new orrery that uses machined parts instead of laser cut parts. I got distracted with 3D printed clocks, I’m making one at the moment, but that project is almost finished.
