Description

12/28/2024 Update: Letters are added to top plate parts for easier assembly

 

Step into the holiday spirit with🎄✨🦌 Motorized Kinetic Christmas Carousel 🦌✨🎄. Last year, I introduced a hand-spun version of this festive carousel, but this year, I gave it a magical upgrade. Powered by a motor, the carousel now rotates gracefully, bringing your favorite holiday scene to life.

 

This cozy display features intricate 3D-printed details, vibrant Christmas colors, and a mesmerizing kinetic movement that fills the room with festive cheer and holiday magic.

 

Designed with care, 3D printed with precision, and assembled with love, this project captures the essence of a cozy Christmas in every spin.

 

Let the charm of the season come alive with this unique motorized kinetic carousel!

 

Here's the detailed assembly video:

 

 

Feel free to comment and share your prints; it'll be nice to see them. I would appreciate any feedback!

What ĂĽ wonderfull design and a delight to print.! I am having little trouble to get the white spiral nice and smooth. The green was no issue, but the white is getting rought on the top. The bottom is nice and smooth, but the top isn't. I ve tried it twice now. Can printing with a support be helpfull? It seems that the white is not so stabile as the green. I am printing on a A1 with bambu filaments.

Thank you for your feedback! The springs must be printed with the supports, it should open with the supports by default when you slice the plate (please check the attached photo), please keep me posted, I am here to help

Unfortunately not, it shouldn't be like that, its bad bed adhesion, which build plate did you use?

Hi, I'd like to try printing the object, but on Bambu Studio V22.1.60, when I slice plate 1, it gives me a conflict problem (see image). Can I still print it, or does it have to be fixed somehow?

Hi, I LOVE this design. It is very creative and right up my alley for Christmas decorating. (I am fairly new to 3D printing.) I have printed the parts. I have watched the assembly video a hundred times. I try to assemble the parts and some of my parts will not fit together as the video. I do not know all of the tricks of the trade I guess. Here are a few examples. Example 1: the bearing will fit in the bottom of the tube ok but the top one will not go in without using a hammer...then the barring cannot rotate so the top of the design will not turn. Example 2: All of the screw holes and the holes of the reindeer, top and bottom pieces are too small. Example 3: the gear for the motor will not fit on the peg. It seems to be a huge issue with being able to attach the parts together. I am sorry to complain, I do not know what I am doing wrong. I so badly want to be able to create this beautiful Christmas carousel!! Are you able to offer me suggestions of how to fix my issues? Thank you, S

Hi, Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. I really appreciate it, and I’m sorry to hear you’ve been having trouble with the assembly. I’d be very happy to help you get it working. Since fit issues like the ones you described can sometimes be caused by printer settings, filament type, or slight print tolerances, could you please let me know which printer you used, as well as the filament type and brand?

Printed on Bambu Labs A1. Overall a great design and print. I had some difficulty getting the white and green spirals to fit on the center post. I had to trim one down along one edge to get them to fit next to each other. And I should have looked at what the Red TPU would be used for. I ordered a new spool of Ted TPU and later realized it won’t be visible so I could have used Black TPU that I already had. Great design and fun build!

Thank you for your feedback and for posting your print! About the spirals, could you please provide more details (filament, settings), I did many iterations (around 20) to fit everything together, and I also printed them on A1, thank you

Finished assembly.. Amazing project!!! only suggestion I would recommend would be to identify which screws you are using as well as let us know where it should sit smooth or how hard to press components together. The video was great but needed some additional guidance on how far down each part should go.

Thank you for sharing the final result! About your recommendation, that was my plan, the detailed video with voiceover, but due to limited time I decided to record a shorter

I started the project and it looks wonderful so far. I'm fairly new and recently purchased a bambu A1. when I use bamboo studio I get two warnings I'm not sure exactly what to use here. warning one, I think is just because the base pieces and the top pieces are all on one printing plate but not connected. so I'm not too worried about that. the other warning says that there could be a collision with the prime Tower. the second question I have is should I use the modified or preset value on the second picture? appreciate the help

Thank you for your feedback and for considering printing the model. In the 1st picture, the warning about floating regions appears because the ornament has some floating areas, they are tiny and the printer handles them pretty well. Please check the prime tower position, it should be something like the 2nd picture. Also, I reuploaded the file, so you'll find that the top plate now has the numbers for easier assembly. Regarding the preset, please use the modified when you change the printer from x1 to a1 (please check 3rd picture). About your 2nd picture, it is asking you if you want to save the preset in your library which you can use to continue with this project or for future projects. Feel free to ask if you'll have more questions

Hello, if I want to keep it manual for now (I'm really not comfortable with motors, etc.), is it possible to print this V2

Hello, thank you for considering to print my carousel model, if you want to keep it without the motor for now, you can just skip the motor installation, while you will turn the bottom plate, it’ll activate the Santa reindeers, please keep me posted, thank you

Great, it's true that version 2 seems more polished to me, it would have been a shame to have to stick with V1 :) However, it's a big project... 400 grams for the base... oh dear, 3 days at 0.16mm and a little less at 0.2mm layers

yeah, while designing, I was thinking about making the base from combined parts top and bottom for each piece, but decided to stick with this idea for that version, btw which printer are you using? Because I remember that the printing time was much longer
