Carousel

A full crank-driven carousel designed from scratch over the last couple of weeks. Everything is 3D-printed, no extra parts or glue needed.

The gears have been created using https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3575, the horses have been designed in blender, all the rest is designed in FreeCAD.

You will need to print the following parts:


1x Base - base.stl (note the special print instructions below)
1x Main gear
I had some problems with the axis of the gear breaking when using main_gear_v1.stl, so I recommend to print main_gear_v2.stl and insert main_gear_v2_splint.stl into it for stability.
1x Crank - crank.stl
This was one of the first parts I designed for the carousel, which resulted in the Fidget Crank toy (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3498126)
5x Extra gear
As with the main gear I recommend to use extra_gear_v2.stl with extra_gear_v2_splint.stl inserted, 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)
