This Orrery Solar System Model is a sturdy and beautiful astronomical piece meant for your desk, library, or a gift for someone who loves the stars.
This orrery is partially 3D printed with a heavier grade plastic before being combined with steel, other metals, a wooden base and high end accents such as gears and metal corner pieces.

🪐 •the beginning shape of this orrery is 3D printed model with high grade plastic material, including scientific engravings on the planetary arms. This begins my “blank canvas” process in which I 3D print and transform this into an authentic looking orrery. There are 8 plantary arms ( Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune).
🪐• on the underside of each planetary arm, I have integrated TWO steel rods that run the full length of each plantary arm to add weight to them and to give them a vintage metal feel. There are 16 total steel rods (two per each of the 8 arms) added to this orrery system. These steel rods are cut in house by me before joining them to the underside of the Orrery arms. Each arm will thus be plastic on top but metal underneath.
🪐• The top of the planetary arms have astronomical inscriptions regarding said planet’s distance from the sun. I have painted, stressed and highlighted these inscriptions so the gold metallic hue will “pop” these letterings more and make them stand out.
🪐• Saturn's rings are made with a steel metal disk that has been painted a vibrant gold. Once again, Saturn will bump the other planets slightly if you align in a row- this is the original design of the 3D File format and not something I can change when I remake it into an Antiqued Orrery.
🪐•The planets themselves are made of a heavy duty plastic. I have filled them with hefty metal fishing weights (for the larger planets/sun) and Activa no bake clay (in ALL planets) (high quality, hardening clay) to cement the inside and to weight them nicely. There might be marks from where I have sanded the planets from their molds. The planets/sun are all painted by hand with numerous metallic paints, including more accurate planetary metallic colors such as; blues, purples, reds, and greens. Some of the planets have a “color-shift” paint coating on them as well.
🪐 •Each Planet is help up by a small steel rod, holding it above the planetary arm
🪐• Earth has a moon added to its gear base. This moon has its own mini gear under it as well. The moon is made from high-end translucent beads.
🪐• A solid wood plaque has been added as the base to this Orrery. The 3D printed portion of this base has mortar cemented to its underside before adhering it to the top of wood plaque. The wood plaque has a large fishing weight hammered inside (not visible) to ensure the overall feel of this replica is as close to the weight of a real antique metal orrery as possible.
🪐•I have added both metal and resin gears (resin made from my own molds) throughout to give it a mechanical look. The gears are scattered throughout the base and planetary arms; right below each planet. ••𝘕𝘖𝘛𝘐𝘊𝘌: 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘴 ( 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘸 𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘵) 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘨𝘭𝘶𝘦𝘥 𝘷𝘪𝘢 𝘢 𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘢𝘱𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘳𝘮- 𝘧 𝘣𝘺 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘮𝘱𝘴 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘥𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘥𝘢𝘣 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘨𝘭𝘶𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘢𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘸.••
🪐•I use high quality metallic primers and paints ( bronze, silver, gold, rust (red), copper, rose gold, sea glass, hammer metallic, and cast-iron just to name a few) and a protective overcoat to transform this piece into the antique machine it looks like it is now.
The metallic colors have been painted, stressed and weathered over to give it an antiqued and vintage feel.
🪐•This model has an 11 3/4" span (two longest arms spanned apart from each other). It is roughly 6 1/2” high. This orrery does not have a motor to self spin. Each planet arm is able to spin separate from the rest by hand.
🪐• The weight of this orrery model is roughly 2.5 - 3 lbs. Recapping some points above, these features have been specifically added to make this system closer resemble an authentic metal Orrery; ensuring not just the visual but the FEEL of this art piece is closer to a real antique machine of the past; 16 metal rods that run the length under each planetarium arm (2 per each planetary arm), fishing weights in the larger planets/sun, clay in each planet and sun, as well as mortar under the original plastic base (between the wood plaque and the plastic base) to give it a sturdy heavier presence in hopes of feeling more authentic.
🪐• I almost always add the decorative metal corners (the triangle pieces on the bottom of the wood plaque). But you can leave a note in checkout if you'd like them off.
