Customizable vinyl record cleaner

pinshape

Vinyl enthusiasts, show your records the love they deserve by carefully cleaning their surface before playing. I always use one of these cleaners before spinning my records. This vinyl record cleaner is customizable (some assembly required - see instructions), allowing you to add your own text or choose from a variety of designs, such as the Ghostly International logo on the back. It measures just over 4 3/4 inches in diameter, large enough for a single pass over a 33 1/3 record. You can also opt to have it print with a storage compartment or solid design. For more details, consult the instructions. Special thanks to makkuro for providing the openSCAD code for the logo - you saved me valuable time! Check out the instructions below: To use this cleaner, hold it perpendicular to your record's rotation (with the record on the turntable and spinning), then gently tilt it up to sweep away dust. Clean the pad with a small brush if necessary, and feel free to add a tiny amount of distilled water for extra cleaning power. I've also created a helpful assembly video: http://youtu.be/XbkniwdZY4g To assemble this cleaner, you'll need: * Velvet or microfiber cloth * Sponge or soft, squishy material (like pipe insulation cut in half) * Hot glue or other suitable adhesive Assembly steps include: Print parts Cut the sponge to fit the plate Wrap the cloth around the plate and sponge Tuck the cloth into the oval shape Glue the cloth, plate, and sponge onto the handle, ensuring the soft cloth faces outward
