Fully 3D-printable turntable

Video: https://youtu.be/6hf6BWSmV88 A fully 3D-printable turntable that requires no extra parts can be made easily. This device can be used to capture beautiful cinematic shots of objects, and it also serves as a rig for photogrammetry software to scan objects in 3D. The large black "slide bearing" is printed in one piece and moves freely as soon as it leaves the printbed. This adds to the simplicity of the build by eliminating the need for moving parts. The turntable is designed to be assembled without glue, but depending on your printer, some adhesive might be necessary to keep parts in place. Once the turntable is fully assembled, it may be difficult to rotate. To solve this issue, I applied fine machine oil to all the parts and turned the turntable extensively to wear them down slightly, which helped achieve a smoother rotation. After lubrication, the turntable turns very smoothly. It's not as smooth as using a bearing, but it's quite smooth considering it's completely 3D-printed. A white platform template has been added to the project files (PDF), which can be printed and cut out with scissors. The diameter of the circle is 10 mm wider than the platform.
