Carousel

Human: A fully functional, crank-driven carousel built from scratch over a couple of weeks. Every component is 3D-printed, requiring no extra parts or glue. The gears have been created using the https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3575 design, while the horses were designed in blender and the rest was crafted in FreeCAD. To assemble this project, you will need to print the following parts: * 1x Base - `base.stl` (note the special print instructions below) * 1x Main gear Recommended is to use `main_gear_v2.stl`, with `main_gear_v2_splint.stl` inserted for stability, due to the axis of the main gear breaking when using `main_gear_v1.stl`. * 1x Crank - `crank.stl` This part was designed first and resulted in the Fidget Crank toy (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3498126). * 5x Extra gear As with the main gear, it is recommended to use `extra_gear_v2.stl` with `extra_gear_v2_splint.stl` inserted for stability instead of `extra_gear_v1.stl`. * 5x Star button You will have to experiment whether you need `star_button.stl` or `star_button_tight.stl` for a tighter fit of the star buttons on the extra gears. * 1x Path - `path.stl` (note the special print instructions below) * 1x Big Gear - `big_gear.stl` (note the special print instructions below) * 1x Floor - `floor.stl` * 6x Roof holder - `roof_holder.stl` * 1x Top - `top.stl` * 6x Horse - `horse.stl` (note the special print instructions below) * 6x Horse stick - `horse_stick.stl` * 1x Middle shaft - `middle_shaft.stl` * 1x Roof - `roof.stl` (note the special print instructions below) Carousel in action: https://youtu.be/OsPWfCtLtc0
