The Midnight Web Wheel – Halloween Ferris Wheel with Chomping Skulls (crank, no supports)

Optional TPU parts - 42 – TPU gear keeper band (recommended): a small loop around the fixed axle and the pinion shaft – it keeps the gears engaged so they never skip, and it is hidden behind the ring gear.

- 43 – TPU belt around both gears (optional, cosmetic): a smooth belt that hugs the ring gear and the pinion.

- Print in TPU 95A, slowly (20–25 mm/s). Fit it before mounting the back tower.Beyond seven hills and one very foggy meadow lies the little village of Bonehollow. When the clock strikes midnight on Halloween, Granny Weaverly – the oldest spider in the land – turns her finest web into a Ferris wheel… and the whole graveyard climbs aboard.

Turn the bone crank and watch it come alive - 🕸 Spider-web wheel (Ø 189 mm) with sagging, spooky threads

- 🦴 Real-bone towers and a bone crank – 6:1 gear drive (16 → 96 teeth) for a slow, smooth ride

- 💀 4 skulls with real hinged jaws – they hang open… until zombie Frank's hand at the bottom snaps them shut: clack!

- 🎃 2 jack-o'-lantern heads that chomp the same way

- ⚰ 2 coffins – the zombie hand pushes a pin, the lid lifts and a tiny skull peeks out

- 🕷 Spider with a glowing skull abdomen on the fixed hollow axle (an LED wire runs through the axle – nothing tangles)

- 🪦 Graveyard base with tombstones, glowing pumpkins and a mausoleum that holds the crank shaft
