Carousel II

https://youtu.be/ssSaAyLIbHc https://youtu.be/WqnsBGgIJrw "Carousel II" is a revamped version of my original Carousel model (https://youtu.be/0wqBTI5HUPs) published more than six years ago. The "secret" to how this updated model operates is the hidden 3D printed "sin wave" contour inside the base, which becomes visible when the motor spins the carousel. As the lower rods of the horses move up and down the sin wave contour, they generate the up and down motion of the horses and flags. There are four complete sin wave cycles in the base, so the horses and flags rise and fall four times each time around the carousel. The carousel consists of three 3D printed parts: "Base.stl", "Carousel, Base.stl" and "Carousel, Canopy.3mf". Add to that the five "Horse.3mf" and "Flag.stl" 3D printed components, and the total count for this model is thirteen. The model runs on an N20 6VDC 50RPM gear motor powered by a 1.5VDC power supply at 15ma. Designed using Autodesk Fusion 360, sliced using Cura 4.3.0, and printed in PLA on both an Ultimaker 3+ Extended and an Ultimaker S5. I receive no compensation of any kind for the design, equipment, parts or materials used in this model.
