What better way to show off your Benchies than to let them ride a Ferris Wheel?
Fully 3D printed except for the TT Motor and some M3 bolts/nuts/washers.
Most parts fit together with just friction fitting. Only the motor needs to be screwed, and the bottom can optionally be screwed to the front and rear brackets.
How to print
Print as oriented in the files
Use 4-6 walls
Print in PLA
Only the Gondola and the axle for the gondola needs support.
How to assemble
Assemble the wheel from the front and rear wheel arts using the center axle. Some force is required to get the wheels to the middle section.
Put the gondola axles inside the gondolas.
Fit the gondola axles inside the wheel. These are friction fit and require some force to fit.
Place the TT Motor in the motor bracket and screw them to the rear bracket with 2 M3 screws, using washers.
Push the Drive Pinion onto the motor Axle. Some force is required.
Assemble the wheel between the front and back brackets and cover with the end caps. Again, these are friction fit, so use some force.
Push the front and rear brackets into the bottom plate. This is also a snug friction fit, so some force is required. Optionally screw the brackets to the bottom plate.
Place 8 benchies on the gondolas and let them enjoy the ride.
