Fully 3D-printable turntable - Upgrades

thingiverse

I'm going to give full credit to the original creator of this fantastic model, who made a really impressive design that I built upon to create my own version. This should be just the finishing touch they needed. You can find the original design on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3723618 I made some key modifications to the original design, which you can download above. First, I added a thicker tabletop with 10-degree markers to help gauge angles for taking photos when doing 3D scanning. Next, I reworked the legs of the turntable to provide more support and stability, especially since they were designed to hold up the large cog, which would otherwise sag on one side due to the gearing. This made the turntable operate much smoother overall. Finally, I added a pointer to indicate the current angle of the turntable, making it even easier to use. I'm really grateful for the original model, as it was an amazing base to work from and performed beautifully when scanning complex shapes.
