Ferris Wheel Clock

Thanks Diane!

I do get more than enough viagra and lottery winnings emails as it is!

cheers, Ian

Hi Folks

I'm thinking of making this fascination timepiece, the mechanicals are within my experience but those electronics frighten me!

Can anyone please tell me where can I buy all the bits and bobs necessary?

Is it difficult to make this circuit board? How the heck does one test and troubleshoot it?

Any tips or clues would be gratefully received.

I have joined the ME in hopes to build the Ferris wheel clock. The back issues are bad. How can I get a set of prints for the clock?

Hello Roland,

I don't think the plans have been published separately.

You could try putting a free 'wanted' ad for the issues you need.

Hello,

Does anyone have the DXF files for this project? Don't see them posted along with the PDF files.

Mason

2/3rds down the list of pdf files there is a zip file with about 15 DXF files in it.

Those DXF files are for the magnetic clock rather than the ferris wheel, if I'm not mistaken.

Sorry so they are

Though the drawings are in the articles so not a great hardship to draw out any that you may want a DXF for, this took less than 5mins. Download from my Dropbox

Yes, I plan to create a model in Alibre CAD from the magazine drawings. Was hoping for the author's original DXF files to check my work, but no worries. Thank you!
