Steampunk Solar System Orrery — Build the Planets in Motion

This 3D metal puzzle brings the solar system to life through a mesmerizing, gear-driven orrery that simulates planetary motion in real time. Designed as a steampunk mechanical model, it transforms astronomy from a static diagram into a moving, interactive display you assemble yourself.

With 600+ precision metal parts made from anodized aluminum alloy and stainless steel, the build delivers a deeply satisfying mechanical experience. As gears interlock and the structure takes shape, you gain a hands-on understanding of how planetary systems orbit in coordinated motion.

Powered by DC 5V, the completed model animates the planets through a synchronized gear mechanism, turning your desk into a living demonstration of astronomy. It’s not just a puzzle—it’s a functional scientific display piece.

The industrial anodized finish gives the model a refined modern-steampunk aesthetic that fits beautifully into offices, studios, classrooms, and collector shelves. Once assembled, the display measures 36.5 × 25.2 cm, making it an impressive yet desk-friendly centerpiece.

Ideal for science lovers, makers, and collectors aged 16+, this kit blends engineering, design, and education into one unforgettable build and display experience.
