Double Ring Motorized Carousel

Bring the magic of a classic amusement park to your desk! The Double Ring Motorized Carousel is designed to be a beautiful, classic display piece that doubles as a highly satisfying mechanical build.

The Features

• Warm Ambient Lighting: The upper canopy is designed to seamlessly house two COB LED strips. This casts a brilliant, warm glow through the intricate lattice windows, giving the model a magical "midnight carnival" atmosphere and turning it into a stunning nightlight.

• Mesmerizing Double Rings: The inner and outer platforms are geared to rotate in opposite directions simultaneously, creating a beautifully complex visual effect all driven by a single motor.

• Custom Ball Bearing Base: To handle the weight of the canopy and ensure buttery-smooth rotation, the base features a custom-engineered thrust bearing track utilizing ten 6mm steel balls. This distributes the load perfectly and eliminates friction.

• Smart Hardware Assembly: The entire model is assembled securely using screws—with just a little bit of glue needed for the decorative pieces. This gives the model a premium, solid feel and allows you to easily "pop the hood" for maintenance or modifications later.
• Optimized for Torque: The horses are stationary and locked in place, an intentional engineering choice that ensures the Maker's Supply motor never stalls or stutters, guaranteeing a flawless, continuous spin.

Printing & Assembly Tips

This model was designed with easy assembly and high-quality printing in mind. Here are crucial tips for success:

• Specialty Tool Recommended: Because of the compact mechanical design, there are 4 screws located in tight spots where a standard straight screwdriver will not fit. I highly recommend using a flexible screwdriver extension shaft (which I personally tested and used for my assembly) or a right angle screw driver.
• Gentle Support Removal: Take your time and gently remove any printed supports from the parts. Applying too much force can accidentally snap delicate pieces or damage the mounting points before assembly.
• Watch Your Torque: The mounting holes are designed to be slightly smaller than the screws so they can bite into the plastic and cut their own threads. Drive them in straight, and tighten just until the screw head is flush and snug. Over-tightening can strip the newly formed hold inside the plastic.
