I. Intro
Date: December 2023 – April 2024
This Ferris Wheel was a gift to my girlfriend on Valentine’s Day, but FedEx delayed 11 days and lost the package! I was not getting the natural white PETG and couldn’t continue printing it. So BambuLab sent me another 4kg of natural white PETG, but Valentine’s Day has passed.
Since most media documents are videos, I edit them into a 14-minute video to show the building process.

IV. Improvements
- The holes on the baseboard are not easy to locate.
- The length of the PVC pipes are not precise, and it made it difficult to install the stand and the wheel at the right position.
- The red marks on the pVC pipes are not removable! Prof. Ziulkowski brought a green mysterious chemical, and that one also didn’t work!
- The spring on the car axel was pushing too tight, making it difficult to turn. Due to the size limit, I had to put adjacent cars very close, and if one car is not turning by gravity, it the other car can get stuck.
