Tourbillon-inspired Prize Wheel
Print Profile(1)

Description
Double-sided lottery turntable inspired by a tourbillon
Main features:
1 The double-sided turntable rotates in opposite directions simultaneously increasing prize area coverage and uncertainty
2 The three-axis tourbillon-like rotation enhances the visual appeal of the lottery while making it difficult to keep an eye on the prize area as it spins (this also brings a minor drawback: the winning position is not fixed)
3 The power unit is replaceable If people like this turntable an electric component will be developed later
4 The manual power components can all be 3D printed no other hardware parts are needed (some positions may require glue and 5 additional printed 608 bearings China site (608 bearings global site) are needed Thanks to creator @Tassesin using metal bearings will be more stable)
Two ways to play:
1 Side A features a guaranteed prize zone with 1 second prize 2 third prizes and 5 fourth prizes ensuring no empty slots but also no first prize Side B features a challenge prize zone with 1 first prize and 2 second prizes but also five empty slots
2 Use both sides A and B simultaneously to accumulate scores and determine prizes


Assembly instructions can be found in the attachment
I have successfully printed with both PLA and PETG Due to variations in filament and environment some connections may require sanding or glue
Potential issues
1 3D printed bearings are still prone to wobbling

2 The shaft fixed to the Y-ring (the turntable ring) can deform at the hexagonal holes due to printing direction Please try to keep the shaft perpendicular to the Y-ring and use glue cautiously

3 It is recommended to print the prize zone inserts first then the prize disc as this helps determine which prize disc is more suitable (loose or tight) and different materials may require sanding the prize zone inserts The various brands I've printed myself are all slightly different~~


4 When connecting the central gear track to the base make sure to insert all eight tabs slightly first and then push them all in (similar to tightening screws)
