Overview
A while ago I saw an extruder indicator consisting of a hamsterwheel and a silhouette of an hamster in it . I re-designed the wheel from scratch, took a pikachu model from Thingiverse , removed the ears and the tail, and placed a ring on it.
Print the three parts, hang the hamster on the pin (check the direction!) and glue the cap on the pin. Glue one or two 8x3mm round magnets on the back, and stick it on the extruder: your hamster-driven Prusa is good to go!
Print instructions
Default setting, but use supports for the hamster. Since it's not a large or structural part, I didn't care for a perfect print myself... :-)

Extruder (NEMA) motor rotation indicatorsAfter learning about the rotation indicators for the extruder motor, I loved the idea, but I didn't really like any of the designs I was seeing. I wanted a gear/cog but couldn't find any I liked.
NEMA (extruder) motor rotation indicator (Prusa MK2(S)/MK2.5/MK3/MMU2)I always like to see what is going on with my printers.

Pikachu Motor Rotation IndicatorI loved the look of Ardjan's non-flat hamster extruder indicator, but when I read they downgraded a Pikachu model to create the hamster I felt that an incredible opportunity was missed.

Extruder Rotation IndicatorI loved the idea of the extruder rotation indicator so I decided to design some more! It works exactly the same as the other designs - you'll need to glue a 8 x 3mm neodymium magnet to the 3D printed part so that it attaches to the motor...
