Carousel with butterflies and caterpillars

Description
Mechanical carousel with butterflies and caterpillars .Caterpillars undulate and butterflies turn and flap their wings.
I'm not an experienced modeler, I don't know how to create a diagram of the model yet, so the assembly instructions are in the video. I tried to use pictures to make it clear how to proceed when assembling the model. Some holes need to be enlarged with a drill.
You need:
11 pieces bearing 608zz - 8x22x7mm
12 pieces of screws M2x8mm
6 pieces of spoke 30x2mm
On the bottom of the part, it is advisable to smooth out the layers of printing on the waves in order to reduce the friction of the moving parts. I was afraid that with so many moving parts, the movement resistance would be great, but the carousel turns relatively easily. For clarification, I wrote the size of the caterpillar links, in which order are to be inserted into the circle
So far, I only know how to make models in Tinkercade and Prusaslicer. Therefore, if you have problems with 3mf files - missing holes or bad geometry, please use Prusaslicer for slicing, everything works there
