Ferris Wheel B: New Physical Laser Cut Kit!

I’ve had a lot of requests for physical versions of my Ferris Wheel B laser cut kit so here it is, now on CNCKing.com! You can read about my build of this model HERE.

I designed this model years ago and about a year ago cut a fresh version with my Trotec Speedy 400 flexx laser and guess what, a year later, it still works great! It even had kids spend hours spinning it around at Maker Faire New York City I attended a year back.

This is an easy to build and fully functional Ferris Wheel which is the perfect size for hours of fun. All that’s required to keep everything together is glue

Kit (3 mm)
L: 29 cm, W: 14.7 cm, H: 32.4 cm. Material thickness is 3 mm.

The challenge with this model is that you have to build it in stages, reason being, you can’t put glue over all the parts and put them together as it will “leak” across parts that you do not want glue to be on.

This is a wonderfully fun project to make, it’s easy, very straight forward and best of all, surprisingly solid as I’ve found bringing it to trade shows far and wide.

You can find this Ferris Wheel B physical kit on CNCKing.com under Physical Products / 3D Kit Models.
