Thingiverse user and Vienna resident Chris (stylesuxx) entered his 3D printable version of the iconic Riesenrad Ferris Wheel into the See The World Thingiversity Art Challenge and took one of the winning spots. The detailed replica ferris wheel can be made stationary, or a small motor can be installed to allow it to move. While Chris designed, printed and constructed his entry in about a week in order to meet the deadline, he suggests anyone looking to make their own go at a more leisurely pace.
