This 3D Printed Robot Bicycle Zoetrope Is Awesome

Zoetropes are pretty cool. You know, those things that you spin and they display a mini animation. PinShaper KitCameo created this fun 3D printed bicycle rim zoetrope. Once you see it, plain old bicycle rims will never do again.

When the wheel moves, it shows the robot walking around the rim of the wheel while you are just riding your bike, oblivious to the little guy on your wheel.

Check it out in the video below. It’s available for free download here if you like the design and have access to a 3D printer. You’ll need a bicycle too of course.

Pretty cool. That is one cute animation.
