Rega 3 point 4mm VTA adjuster

thingiverse

It all started when I replaced the platter on my turntable (Goldring GR1.2, a clone of Rega P2) and discovered that the new one sits higher than the old one, requiring me to raise the arm. Unfortunately, these turntables lack an adjustable VTA. After exhausting commercially available options without finding a satisfying solution at a reasonable price, I decided to create my own adjuster. It works flawlessly for me. Print Settings Printer Brand: Ultimaker Printer: Ultimaker 2 Rafts: Yes Supports: No Resolution: 0.1 Infill: Dense Notes: CURA was used to slice and output the gcode. I utilized CPE ESD filament as it was the only black option available, which might have an additional benefit - its increased flexibility compared to PLA should work better on a turntable. A prototype was printed using gray PLA (also visible in the picture). How I Designed This The design process was straightforward: A 26mm circle was created for the center hole. A 50mm circle defined the outer edge. The shape was then extruded to a height of 2mm. Three supports were crafted with: A 4mm center hole and an 8mm outer circle, both extruded to a height of 4mm. These shapes were then duplicated around the central axis at 120-degree intervals. Finally, I checked and refined the geometry to ensure it could be printed without any issues.
