Who doesn't like to play with water and spin around things? With this toy waterwheel you can do both :-)
The assembled waterwheel has a diameter of 16 cm and it consists of the following parts:
- Wheel (yellow part)
- 8 spoons that slide into slots in the wheel. There is a bit of friction when pressing them into the wheel and that's enough to hold them in place
- Center piece. The 3 mounting holes can be used to screw it to something or to attach suction cups
- Nut that screws on the center piece to hold the wheel in place
Do you want mounting holes of a different size or customise any other part of the model? Just download the fusion360 design and adjust it to your liking.
Story behind this design:
Each time I buy a package of infant formula for my son it comes with a disposable measuring spoon. I kept the spoons over time and ended up having quite many of them. One day I had the idea to use them to make a waterwheel and this is the design I came up with.
My design fits the spoons from the infant formula but because I'm aware not everyone has a drawer full of such spoons I added a 3D printable spoon to the design.
