Large wheel on Playmobil scale

cults3d

Electrified Ferris wheel models measure up to Playmobil character scale. The wheel consists of two flanges joined by a spacer, with the central axis fixed to the spacer using two 10x15 bearings. The central axis features a drilled hole for a 4mm threaded rod that secures the entire wheel to the gantry with two lock nuts and two washers. Replacing the central axis with an aluminum tube cut to size can be beneficial. Each flange is composed of eight sectors, with one flange housing the drive gearwheel. A 100 rpm reducer motor powers the unit, sourced from Ebay: http://www.ebay.fr/itm/W6-JA12-N20-Model-DC-12V-100RPM-Torque-Gearbox-Micro-Gear-Box-Motor-Silver-Gold-/182327025370?hash=item2a73899eda:g:5l4AAOSwnbZYDbnD The 4 rpm reduction is achieved through a gear train housed in a box, which also contains the 9V battery powering the unit. The switch can be mounted on the back of the box or placed offset within the ticket office using a bistable pushbutton: https://composant-electronique.fr/bouton-marche-arret-sw4002-bl The gantry and sidewalk components were designed to accommodate printing. The ticketing wall features three-color elements that can be printed separately or together, depending on the printer capabilities. The nacelle and gate axis articulations are modeled for functional direct printing. A sheet of stickers is archived for decoration purposes. In case of issues, refer to the pictures for guidance.
