Moon Phase Teaching Aid
I. Printing Instructions
No hardware needed. If you don't have a multi-color set, you can print it in pure white and color it manually with markers after printing
For multicolor printing, it is recommended to use a 0.2mm nozzle for printing the base model to make the font clearer
- To save time, use a 0.4mm nozzle with markers to fix missing strokes
- You can scale up the model appropriately according to your needs to optimize the text printing effect
If you can only print with 4 materials using one AMS, you can try placing the two parts shown in the image below on a new printing plate and print them in steps
II. Assembly Diagram
Assembly is simple, just stack them in order and then secure with a nut
Since both the sun and the rod are rotatable, please do not overtighten the nut as it will affect the smoothness of rotation
III. Moon Phase Knowledge Points
Refer to the explanation
Summary: The moon does not glow, the sun helps it; it revolves around the Earth, changing its appearance daily!
Cycle: From new moon to the next new moon, approximately 29.5 days (about one month)
| Moon Phase | Appearance | Mnemonic |
|---|---|---|
| 🌑 New Moon | Invisible | "Moon plays hide-and-seek" |
| 🌒 Waxing Crescent | Thin and curved like an eyebrow | "Moon laughs until its back bends" |
| 🌓 First Quarter | Right side is bright, like the letter "D" | "D-shaped moon, right side bright" |
| 🌔 Waxing Gibbous | Mostly bright, still missing a little bit | "Moon got fat" |
| 🌕 Full Moon | Big and round | "Moon is round and round, like a big pancake" |
| 🌖 Waning Gibbous | Starts getting thin | "Moon is going on a diet" |
| 🌗 Last Quarter | Left side is bright, like the letter "C" | "C-shaped moon, left side bright" |
| 🌘 Waning Crescent | Becomes thin and curved again | "Moon is going to sleep" |
