Pincushion for Mercury 2 Plus turntable

thingiverse

This is a turntable for the Mercury 2 Plus that includes multiple 1.5mm holes for insertion of wires as custom model supports. I made a "pincushion" for the Mercury wash/cure station to address the times when I wanted to position a model on the turntable for curing in some other orientation than laying flat. I had a number of mild steel wires (probably florist wire?) with a 1mm diameter. I made a plate to mimic the turntable stage. It has 3mm cap head screws on the bottom to engage the curing station drive holes & a couple of washers glued into depressions (26x2.8mm) for the magnets to grab. The top side has an array of 1.5mm holes. I can place wires in the holes & bend to get the type of support I want for those times when flat just won't do as well as something else.
