🛠️ What You'll Need 

To build your Nautilus Spinning Wheels using our digital design files, you will need to source or prepare the following materials:

  • ✅ The two wheels cut according to our design.
  • ✅ Pins or screws for assembly.
  • ✅ Optional: Non-toxic paint for coloring.

🧺️ Step-by-Step Assembly Instructions

🧡 Tip: Pay close attention to how the gears interlock to ensure smooth rotation. A dry fit can help identify any alignment issues before final assembly.

✅ Step 1 – Prepare Your Components

Lay out your two custom-cut wheels, the pins or screws you have sourced, and any optional paint. Familiarize yourself with their shapes and intended positions.

✅ Step 2 – Align the Wheels

Carefully align the two custom-cut wheels, ensuring that any interlocking parts or designated pivot points match up correctly.

✅ Step 3 – Fix the Wheels Together

Using your sourced pins or screws, securely fix the two wheels together at their designated connection points. Ensure they are firmly attached but can still rotate freely if designed to do so.

✅ Step 5 – Test for Smooth Operation

Gently rotate the assembled mechanism to ensure all parts move freely and smoothly without any sticking or excessive friction.

➤ Optional: Color Your Wheels

If desired, use your non-toxic paint to add color and personalize your Nautilus Spinning Wheels. Allow the paint to dry completely before proceeding.
