Purple Baron Carousel

Purple Baron Carousel\nI immediately fell in love with the Hand Cranked Vinyl Player by Oana and thought it would make a perfect starting point for a unique carousel. Why not create a carousel featuring cork biplanes that take off when you turn the crank? \nWatch this YouTube video to see how cool it looks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPV_APtKH7U\nPrint Settings:\nPrinter: Original Prusa I3 MK2\nRafts: Doesn't Matter\nSupports: Yes\nResolution: Equal or less than 200um for the best results\nInfill: 20%\nNotes: I remixed the baseplate and some gears. After tweaking with an x-acto knife, everything fits together nicely.\nMake sure to keep the parts that connect to the biplanes loose so they turn freely!\nYou'll need some glue to assemble it like the original Hand Cranked Vinyl Player design. The propeller requires a M3 6mm screw (or any small screw) for connection.\nFor easier assembly and better results, print with at least 200um resolution.\nHave fun building this carousel and letting your biplanes fly high!\nUpdate 07/02/2017\nI've uploaded an easier version of the longest parts in Set03. They have a large footprint but can be tricky to print without supports. Remove them before final assembly.\nUpdate 11/02/2017\nAfter double checking, I found that the Box and Stem STL files are difficult (or impossible) to slice if you're not using Slic3r. Sorry for the issue! Thanks to @geirskogul for reporting back.\nThe corrected files are online and ready to print!\nIf you still have issues slicing in Simplify3D, try clicking Mesh->Separate Connected Surfaces on the Box file. It should then slice without problems!
