This is amazing, how are you going to lock the sun gear or the planetary gears to change the speed? Are you installing a clutch?
The sun gear is attached to the motor and the planetary gears are to the stator. I will make a couple of picatures to clear it out
EDIT: So i wil pressfit the sun gear to the rotor:
The planatary gear carrier is attached to the main axle.
i hope it is clear now otherwise ask and i will answer the best i can.

Is planetary gears kinda like KV tuning for hubs? Is heat still gonna be an issue?
No it is like having your Jenso-drive directly integrated in your hub ! Or just like belt drive and hub got a mutant child.

@Jreamer it is what @Vanarian said. Is just an motor reduction.
I also made some end caps. It is now ready for some lubrication🤘

Are you going to make a video switching speeds?

I believe this isn’t for switching gears/speeds. It’s just a reduction within the hub. @Frank correct me if I’m wrong.

Did you mill these gears yourself, im starting machining as a new hobby, converting a mill to cnc right now. What’s the smallest endmill you used on the small planet gears? Do you think such a project could be done with 0.05mm repeatability?
