Painting Rotating Stand

thingiverse

Update 2019-03-15: Having built two of these now, one for myself and one for a friend, I realized that I don't need ballast to weigh down the stand so I designed a solid base from scratch. Update 2019-03-12: Fixed the tread in the Base and Base Lid. Added small grooves to the Base to lock it in place and make screwing and unscrewing the Base Lid easier. Fixed the orientation of the Base Lid and Platform when importing into the slicer. I was inspired by @3dmakernoob's painting videos to start printing some of my own prints. I decided to make myself a painting stand like the one Joe is using. Designed in Fusion 360, this is my first attempt. Overbuilt but will do the job nicely for now. May modify the design in the future after I've used it for a while. Requires 2 608 bearings and 1 M8X80 bolt with nut to put together. The base is hollow with a screw on the bottom so ballast can be added to weigh down the stand for stability but I don't think it's going to be required. Printed in ColorFabb PLA Economy Silver, this is new filament for me and setting was not quite right but came out nice. Now just need to get myself some Plasti Dip to coat the top platter and it will be ready to go. I have included 2 different stem files. One is a simple stem and the other has a ribbed base. When I first designed the stand my intention was to have my hand rest on the base and rotate using the stem. But after re-watching @3dmakernoob's video, I noticed he was rotating the stand by the base so I modified the stem to have a base. For the Base Lid, the tread did not come out perfectly but works. I used the same type and setting as in my barrel bank design but didn't get the same result. May change in the future. The lid also has 6 20mm square recesses to install silicone pads for stability. The bearings might be a tight fit. Use the M8 bolt and nut to press them into position before assembling the base with the stem and platter.
