hexagonal rod-4x
holder-1
other parts required
super glue
6204 ball bearing-1x
sand paper (sanding might be needed for body and rim ensure that the bearing can be placed smoothly within the body )
make sure that the rim rod is inserted till the end of one side of the bearing don't over insert it.The bearing and rim rod should be level with the bottom side of the body
All parts can be printed in 20-30%infill however the holder and hexagonal rod should be printed in 60-80% infill for strength. Changing the infill pattern to cubic for both these items also helps
ensure that sufficent light passes through the top otherwise the animation may appear dark or blurry .Don't use too much downward force while spinning to ensure a smooth operation
while cutting ensure that you leave some white paper on the top and bottom sides of the animation pics so that the slip can be attached to the boundary of the spool .some paper should be also left on one side to stick it the next slip .The animation paper should be printed 2 times .which means 4 slips=24 frames.The order in which the slip is attached should be considered
supports are required
ensure the place the holder rod on the holes at he edge of the spool and spin it .Look through the slits to see the animaton
