Fully 3D-printable turntable

thingiverse

I designed and built an innovative turntable that takes photography to the next level. Powered by an Arduino Uno, stepper motor, 1602 LCD screen, and a precise 9g servo motor, this turntable can automatically capture stunning photos from 360 degrees around the subject, which can then be transformed into breathtaking 3D models using photogrammetry software. Check it out here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3958326 This revolutionary turntable is fully 3D-printable, requiring no extra parts - a game-changer for makers and hobbyists alike! It's perfect for capturing cinematic shots of objects or as a rig to create photos for photogrammetry software, allowing you to scan objects in 3D. The massive black 'slide bearing' is printed in one piece and glides effortlessly from the print bed. The absence of moving parts contributes to the turntable's simplicity. Designed to be snap-fitted without glue, though some adhesive may be necessary for certain printers to keep components secure. Once assembled, the turntable might require a bit of force to rotate initially. I used fine machine oil to lubricate all parts and gave it a good spin to wear in the mechanisms, resulting in a remarkably smooth rotation. While not as silky-smooth as a bearing, this 3D-printed turntable performs admirably. A white platform template is included in the files (PDF), which can be printed and cut out with scissors. The diameter of the circle is 10 mm wider than the platform.
