I like the idea of having an extruder indicator on my Prusa i3 Mk3S
I have been looking for one but I could not find one that was fully animate.
So I created one.
I thought it would be fun to create a mini Ferris Wheel type of extruder indicator. Enjoy!

Print instructions

I printed a number of these on the Prusa Mini using different colours of PLA.
Print Setting; Quality 0.15mm, 15% infill, no support required.
on the back of the wheel is a small 0.2mm recess 8mm in diameter to locate an 8mm dia by 3mm depth rare earth magnet.

PLEASE NOTE.
I put 5 cradles on the bed at once to print. Because of the small size I occasionally find one that is looser than the others. If you are not happy with the movement, you can just print another one.
