Description
Every time I see prime_tower's spinners, it makes me remember when I was a child, in science class, we built a Zoetrope out of cardboard, with this horse silhouette moving around.
Thanks to 3D design and nowadays 3D printers, I was able to recreate the same gimmick way easier!
For those who don't know how it works, you need to look through the slits to see the magic happen!
Each slide is also 3d printed, one layer on white and one layer with the drawing, allowing it to be translucent and being able to add a tealight to be used as a remembrance lamp to my own delight.
Easy to assemble, add the slides in the same order as they are in the plate, and close with the top lid as a press fit. If you want to avoid being reopened, a drop of glue will do the trick.
For the slides, be sure to clean your plate, dry your filament, and allow the plate to cool down after printing. Otherwise, they will deform!
With nothing else to add, I hope you like it!
