Eco Wood Art planetarium

The planetarium from Eco Wood Art is a true masterpiece. In developing this kit, the support of astronomers was enlisted to recreate a realistic simulation of the solar system. By turning the small crank, the planets begin to rotate around the sun. The model provides a realistic insight into the planets in our solar system, and important facts about the planets are also displayed. It's a really great 3D model to understand our planetary system.

Recommended age: from 14 years
Number of parts: 531
Model size: 39.0 x 21.0 x 39.0 cm
Easy assembly without glue (pliers and a cutter/utility knife recommended)
Contents: Environmentally friendly birch plywood, rubber bands, wax, wooden sticks, clips, toothpicks, sandpaper, and a step-by-step assembly guide.
Material: Wood, rubber, wax

Tip: The model can be additionally painted with wood colors (not included). However, it is important that the joints are not glued together with dried paint. Please note: Assembling requires some manual dexterity, as the partly delicate components need to be joined with controlled force from time to time. If handled too carelessly or roughly, individual parts can be irreparably damaged. Here, as with other model building parts, the rule is: "Look closely at the assembly instructions, use less force, be more patient, and proceed carefully."

The environmentally friendly mechanical models, decorative puzzles, and toys made from renewable birch wood consist of plywood sheets. The respective sheets are created using laser cutting and are sometimes also decorated. The individual parts can be easily separated from the plywood sheets and assembled without the use of adhesives. The mechanical functions are realized with rubber bands (e.g., wind-up motors) or gears, bringing them to life with movement.
