Coolant Sump for mini pottery wheel for dice polishing

thingiverse

Not directly a remix, but definitly an idea stolen from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5974205Mine has some internal slopes to direct the water down to a port, and my plan is to get a small pump so I can circulate the water without having to manually squirt it.My print wasn't water tight from the FDM printer, but brush on a coat of uv resin and put it in the curing station took care of that nicely.https://cad.onshape.com/documents/ee37a07727985c8851f56a24/w/53bb6beda021160fb203e8b3/e/f1b9d21f9a015e923ae42c03?renderMode=0&uiState=65c6d41dcb22952632399490There are at least two problems with this: I had to drill a hole to access the grub screw for the wheel head, and I made the splash guard a bit short to make it easy to change the paper - I have a metal 'fondant cutter' ring from a set that fits nicely inside and goes just high enough to catch the splash, but you might wnt to grab the onshape project and extend the sheild a bit higher. My version of the mini pottery wheel is 133mm wide, and 151 mm front to back, so that's what it is designed to fit.V2 update: Added a turn down to the coolant drain so the water wouldn't drip back along - basically, trying to get rid of the section of rubber hose. Added an access hole for the grub screw that holds the head of the wheel to the motor, and a plug to close it up and prevent water from spraying out there.
