My wife was looking for a new hobby during Quarantine, So I designed and created a Throwing wheel for her.
3d printer parts and an arduino.
It works really really well
Would you sacrifice your printer parts for love? :)
print everything.
The wheel should be printed from PETG with high infill 40% - 50% (for weight and Structural strength).
install 4 X m4 threaded inserts in the stepper motor socket.
install 4 X m3 threaded inserts in the arduino socket (non critical)
Install the motor, and tighten it.
install the arduino with screws to the base.
Connect the arduino to the motor with a stepper motor driver.
install a 12 V switch, and connect to a 12 volt power supply.
Ta Da!
you got yourself a working throwing wheel.
