<p><strong>Wheel&nbsp;</strong></p><p>This part is printed in grey PLA for a metallic look and to avoid stringing.</p><p>Glue a magnet to the back of the wheel to mount it to the extruder steppermotor axle.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Hamster</strong></p><p>To move the weight of the hamster to the back, print with 100% infill near the back legs. The Hamster 3mf file has an infill modifier with these settings.</p><p>I used white PETG for the hamster body and acrylic paint to give the hamster some color, other filament materials and sharpies will work too.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>General notes</strong>&nbsp;</p><p>No support material is needed for the wheel and hamster.</p><p>It's surprisingly fun to see the little pet moving around in the wheel while printing.</p><p>For a video of the hamster in action, check out:<br><a href="https://schetsblok.nl/mp4/HamsterPowered3Dprinter.mp4">https://schetsblok.nl/mp4/HamsterPowered3Dprinter.mp4</a> (video file)<br>or<br><a href="https://schetsblok.nl/mp4/HamsterPowered3Dprinter.gif">https://schetsblok.nl/mp4/HamsterPowered3Dprinter.gif </a>(animated gif)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
