About the model
A versatile static model for your layout
Experience the magic of the classic Twister in scale H0 (1:87)! This legendary ride delights with 12 gondolas hanging from pivoting arms and rotating around a central axis. The highlight: The central axis is tilted by an SG90 servo, causing the gondolas to rotate up and down in a spectacular wave motion. This technically sophisticated model is driven by an N20 15 RPM DC motor, an Arduino Uno, and an L298N motor controller – the perfect combination of realistic design and sophisticated mechanics.
Model Features:
- Realistic Movements:
- The main axis rotates via the DC motor, providing the typical rotation of the gondola arms.
- The servo raises the central axis, setting the gondolas into a dynamic up-and-down motion.
- 12 Detailed Gondolas: Each gondola hangs from its own arm, creating the Twister’s distinctive appearance.
- Optimized for 3D Printing: The components are easily manufactured from PLA filament and simple to assemble.
- Technically Advanced: The Arduino Uno controls all movement sequences, while the L298N motor controller provides precise drive power.
