Kitchenaid Rock Tumbler

myminifactory

After crafting a basic version of this tumbler to refine some bronzefill dice I created, I revisited the concept to build a more polished looking model. This project requires only a small amount of materials to make and there will soon be a version available that can be built using just filament without any M3 screws or nuts. To create this version, you'll need: 2 X M3x30, 3 X M3x18, and 5 X M3n. It's easy to print in PLA or PETG, and there are files for PLA "bearings" and TPU-lined "Pro bearings." These bearings match the dimensions of skateboard bearings, so you can use spares if you have some on hand. The build instructions can be followed by looking at the pictures and require only an Allen wrench for assembly. For a unique visual style, you can swap filament layers to match your Kitchenaid. The Tumbler Housing Back, Tumbler Housing Front, and Tumbler Can will need support added during printing. The Tumbler Can Mounting Post and Tumbler Housing Arm will require a brim. Either PLA or PETG filaments are acceptable for this project, with the Tumbler Bearing Pro Flex printed in TPU.
