Wheel of Fortune

A wheel of fortune, you can add notes to easing difficult choices which can now be determined by fate.

Required materials

You will need the following materials to assemble the model:

• A 608ZZ ball bearing
• Two M3x14 mm bolts
• Two M3 square nots
• One M3x24 mm bolt
• One M3 locking nut
• A small piece of filament
• Glue for glueing the pointer in place

Printing instructions

Print all the models - use color changes on the wheel to differentiate base, spokes, and studs.

All the models are correctly oriented - be sure to use brim for the wheel lock, as it needs to be printed “upside down”. All other models can be printed without brims and support.

Assembling the model

Insert the two square nots at the back of the stand - ensure they are inserted all the way in - you may need to use a flat screwdriver to press them into place. Insert the two M3x14 mm bolts on the bottom of the base and use them to fix the stand into place - the studs should face forward.

Insert the ball bearing into the center of the wheel - be sure to insert it all the way. Press the wheel onto the center stud of the stand. Insert the M3x24 mm bolt in the top of the wheel nut (the small diameter side) and screw the bolt into place in the center hole of the center stud. If you want a more secure fastening, affix the M3 locking nut to the back of the stand.

Put a small amount of glue into the triangular cutout at the top of the stand and slide the pointer into the cutout with the curved part facing up. Cut a small bit of filament and slide it into the hole at the top of the stand - adjust the length of the filament so that it catches the studs when the wheel turns, but do not cause to much resistance for the wheel to turn smoothly.

Paper Cutouts

A paper cutout guide for drawing paper cutouts matching the wheel is included - use this to create eight slips of paper, which can be added to the wheel using sticky tack.

Enjoy!
