Update Notes:
June 10, 2025, Design Version 1.1 (model aesthetics optimized on June 17):
1. Enhanced aesthetics;
2. Incorporated motorized structure;
3. Added illumination;
4. Organized parts package:
Feel free to substitute your preferred colors for printing.

5.
Utilizing filament spools and their cardboard inserts significantly reduces material waste.

Key features:

1) The interlocking design of the components significantly enhances dimensional stability;

2) The transmission mechanism cleverly employs gear meshing for precise rotational control;

3) The light strip’s power is supplied via positive and negative slide rails;

4) Even more captivating when illuminated at night:


Assembly Instructions:

1. Once printed, the model’s components assemble easily via snap-fit connections.
 

2. The light strip requires soldering of copper wires to conduct electricity.

3. Engage the motor’s gear with the gear mechanism. Secure the gear plate into the filament spool, and then insert the rotating mechanism; this completes the power transmission.

4. The spool holder now features four triangles (latest update) for precise alignment with the filament spool. Align the two hub supports accordingly.

5. When installing the hub, align the hub’s holes with the disc’s corresponding holes for easier wiring.

6. For assistance with any issues, please send a private message. Due to the design’s complexity, prior electrical experience and strong DIY skills are recommended.
