Hey guys,
In the past I bought a Big Ball

Factory. I somehow lost the instructions for the alternate build, the ferris wheel. Well,

I found some images off of the internet of it and I am trying to build it without the

instructions, all I need help with is the big side of it.

As you can see in the

pictures below, the one side of the ferris wheel looks like a big bowl and not a flat

surface. I have checked the picture on the internet over and over again but I

can't seem to find the problem?

Here is what mine looks like.

I know that the reason it pops out is because there is too much compression

and the outer ring is too small, but I copied the pictures exactly, so I don't know

what the problem is.

Please someone I need your help I would really

appreciate it.
Thanks in advance,
Justin

If I remember correctly the outer ring also contains

white rods, besides the green rods.
EDIT: 4 white ones, I've got the

instructions in front of me. Use each white rod at a quarter of the ring.

And I took detailed

pictures of the mechanism: a chain band around the outer ring and a hand crank to

rotate a gear (that connects with the chain band)
