Mini Carousel Ride

cults3d

As the Carousel spins the animals also travel up and down. Decorated and plain versions of the roof/canopy. Four different Animals. Requires both hands, or maybe one big hand, to function. No supports and no glue needed to make this model, but glue may help some people. Although comprised of many small parts, I was able to assemble in less than a minute. I printed multiple versions with different amounts of elephant footing so I could troubleshoot foreseeable issues. I have included variations of the larger gear to work around gear interference, the animals have 3 pole sizes and the supports have 2 sizes to accommodate tolerances in the platform and roof caused by initial layer squish out. As the model stands after a minute of break-in, I get smooth operation about 9 out of 10 turns, with most minor catching caused by a thick paint job and some filament spurs.
