This customizable Random Decision Wheel uses an empty filament spool to create a drama - think of the big vertical wheel from the game show The Price Is Right, fused with a Magic 8 Ball and powered by recycling.

How do I customize this? This is an OpenSCAD project. OpenSCAD is a script-based modeling software specifically created for projects like this that need to be customizable.
If you're new to the program, it may look strange at first, but most of the work is just typing values into a form or selecting customization options from a dropdown list. You do not need to know any programming or write a single line code to use OpenSCAD.
Once you've entered everything you need, you can export an STL file for printing. Here's a helpful video that walks through the entire process!
