With this toy waterwheel you can do both :-)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The assembled waterwheel has a diameter of 16 cm and it consists of the following parts:</p><ul><li>Wheel (yellow part)</li><li>8 spoons that slide into slots in the wheel. There is a bit of friction when pressing them into the wheel and that's enough to hold them in place</li><li>Center piece. The 3 mounting holes can be used to screw it to something or to attach suction cups</li><li>Nut that screws on the center piece to hold the wheel in place</li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Do you want mounting holes of a different size or customise any other part of the model? Just download the fusion360 design and adjust it to your liking.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Story behind this design:</p><p>Each time I buy a package of infant formula for my son it comes with a disposable measuring spoon. I kept the spoons over time and ended up having quite many of them. One day I had the idea to use them to make a waterwheel and this is the design I came up with.</p><p>My design fits the spoons from the infant formula but because I'm aware not everyone has a drawer full of such spoons I added a 3D printable spoon to the design.</p>
