We decided to somehow please our chinchillas,
not just to buy them a gift, but to assemble a really worthwhile thing with your own hands. The choice was not long in coming and it was decided to assemble a large running wheel with a diameter of 36 cm. This is a very impressive size for small rodents, you can't buy it in a store! Conceived - done! In order to start, it is desirable to have a minimum set of tools: a drill, a milling machine, a screwdriver, a hammer.
All components were purchased from a hardware store:
All stages of assembly are covered in detail in my video
Everyone can choose the sizes independently, in my case these are:
| name | size |
|---|---|
| base | 50x25x2 cm; |
| The height of the wheel mount | 30x19 cm; |
| stiffener | 19x10 cm; |
| wheel diameter | 36 cm; |
| wheel depth | 15 cm; |
For the bearing, I used a base from an old hard drive with an electric motor.
