DIY Hamster Wheel

[Nora]

It's been some time since i built this. here am posting how did i build this.



Used items

Bucket (30cm)
3/4 PVC pipes
3/4 T
3/4 L
3 Inch Square Lazy Susan Turntable Bearings

Nuts and bolts

First i have determined the center of bucket and drilled 4 holes to fix the bearing.
Then i have put bolts to both side of bearing



Next i have connected PVC pies and other connectors according to the pictures.
Then drilled the holes in PVC to connect the bearing.



then finally bearing connected to the bucket.
then bearing's other end connected to the PVC.

you got yourself a nice Hamster Wheel

Nora is happy with this!

That is excellent So glad she is enjoying it. Thank you for posting this and the items needed look quite simple to get as well. There is another tutorial for one that uses a fidget spinner! I think that was because it has bearings and to make it silent.

Sounds amazing I think some people have used the centre part of an old computer hard drive instead of a fidget spinner as that also has the small round part with ballbearings as well

It maybe doesn't matter if the wheel is silent or not, but I think they can spin a bit more freely with ball bearings

I'm going to sticky this thread in case anyone else wants to make one
