Lazier Susan - Low Profile, Snap-Together Swivel

pinshape

Update: 9-30-15 I designed several printed-in options for the swivel. A snap-in wedge and a rod can be melted into a capture rivet if that works better for you. This is part of my personal projector mod handle, which will make this a portable, potentially battery powered HD projection setup that could go anywhere in a backpack. A simple swivel for speakers or whatever is also possible. Scaling up to make a lazy susan-style tablet base could be cool too. Just print both sides and sandwich together with a small length of filament or plastic rod. Scaled up, metal bolts and locknuts can be used for strength. At the current scale, I wouldn't trust more than two pounds of weight on this. The height is about 5.5mm (7mm including both sides Scotch thick tape). The latest update (snap version) is 6.7mm (8.2mm). Print Settings: Rafts are not used. Supports are also not necessary. A resolution of .2 and an infill of 30% or 100% are recommended. Notes: Using expensive double sided tape will hold for a good while. Hot glue is also an interesting option for more temporary use. I use 3mm filament or 1/8th" plastic rod to make rivets with a woodburning knife or soldering iron. If your filament rivet is sticking up a bit, consider using a hole punch on the double sided tape where the shaft will be to allow it to spin freely.
