This is a recreation of a classic Big Eli 16-cab Ferris wheel from the Eli Bridge company in the 1960s. I designed it originally for a static model, so it wasn't built to move.
The assembly is pretty straightforward: print two of the sides and connect them with the hub. Attach the cabs between the ends of the sweeps (the arms coming out from the hub). Print two large struts (large enough to hold the wheel off the ground) and four smaller struts for side bracing.
