Ferris Wheel

thingiverse

This is a pretty simple ferris wheel, but precision tools in MakeVR were really useful in making it look well put-together Instructions To make the concentric circles in the frame, I scaled a cylinder to a very stout shape and then cut into it to remove the entire middle section, leaving only the edges. I then copied it, scaled it up, and then use precision tools to line up the circles exactly. The bars spanning the frame are cylinders rotated on a grid to be precisely 45 degrees apart. The seats/containers were "hollowed out" by making a copy of the bottom piece scaled down and cutting into it using precision tools. The rest of the ferris wheel is carefully eyeballed.
