This is my latest project a model Ferris Wheel. Made the majority of parts on my glowforge plus. It is entirely remote control and has over 1000 individual cut parts. Its driven by a chain drive made with 1/8" draft board and dowels. The wheel has over 50 LED lights on 3 different circuits, a remote control music box, It is an upgrade on my previous design. It can run on a small battery concealed in the base or with an AC adapter. Most of the electronics are the same as used with remote control aircraft. Going to enter it in the local county fair this summer. Had a blast making this.
