Big Lure Turner

thingiverse

This is a large lure turner, I am using a disco ball motor for the motor but you could easily modify this design to use a rotisserie motor as well. All of these pieces were designed with fusion 360 and printed with simplify 3d on a heavily modified Anet A8 for safety reasons. I printed the design in PETG to have a little bit more strength, though I don't see why it wouldn't work with PLA. The couplers are printed in 100% infill, while all other parts are at 10% infill with three perimeters. To complete this project, you will need: * A motor with a stand that matches the height of the turner's stand * One 608 bearing * A 16" or smaller piece of EMT 1/2" conduit for the shaft of the turner * One 2" codder pin if your motor allows it * CA glue (super glue) of your choice * A 3D printer, obviously I have made a video of this project that you can check out at https://youtu.be/hNxEQzfX3-g. To assemble the printed parts: 1. Glue the arms onto the couplers after they snap in. 2. Then glue the couplers to your EMT in the length you want, I found it easy to align them by setting them on a flat surface in an X with the EMT between and then gluing it together laying sideways, which ensures all the arms are at the same angle. 3. Press fit the bearing into the back coupler recess or glue it in depending on your printer's clearance (more loose glue in the outer race). 4. Set your motor's shaft at the same height as the stand and secure the motor in place. 5. If your motor shaft is slightly larger, I have included a cover extension you can try that has a larger diameter and can slip over the coupler shaft. You can also use this if the original one becomes broken somehow - I tried drilling it out but it became too loose. Any questions? Leave them in the comments below!
