SMD Turntable V1 (inkl. XL version)

<p>If you are into smd soldering than this thing will make your live much easier.<br/> The smd turntable consists of a base and a "donut" with compartments for your project-specific smd components.<br/> Each compartment can have it's own label (for e.g. R1, R2, C1, U1,...).<br/> The donut comes with a cover and is replaceable, so you can swap easily between your projects.<br/> The donut is also a very good solution for archiving your project-specific smd parts.<br/> There is a 9mm and a 12mm donut (height) available, depending on your label height (e.g. DymoLabel printer 12mm). Each compartment has a small gap to place the label in.<br/> It's recommended to use BluTack on the working surface or just silicon (a self-cutted plate or liquid silicon) to keep your smd board on place.</p> <p>The XL files offers you a working surface diameter of 148mm - the default one has 71mm (check your max print bed size! - no problem if you have the Prusa i3 MK3).</p> <p>You need a standard ball bearing (22mm, 8mm, 7mm) - the ones from your old inline skates ;-)</p> <h3> Assembly guide:</h3> <p>For the base you need the file:<br/> 1_TurntableBase.stl</p> <p>For the default working surface:<br/> 2a_Workingsurface.stl<br/> 2b_WorkingsurfaceAxis.stl<br/> (Place the printed axis in the center whole of the working surface - all the way down. You can also use some glue to keep the axis in place.)</p> <p>For the XL working surface:<br/> 2a_WorkingsurfaceXL.stl<br/> 2b_WorkingsurfaceAxis.stl (same as above)</p> <p>For the default donut:<br/> 3a_Donut9mm.stl OR 3b_Donut12mm.stl<br/> 4_DonutCover.stl</p> <p>For the XL donut (XL working surface):<br/> 3a_Donut9mmXL.stl (no 12mm available for now)<br/> 4_DonutCoverXL.stl</p> <p>Tipp: If there is a scratch noise while rotating, just put some extra space (e.g. paper) under the ball gearing.</p> <p>Many thanks to the @unexpectedmaker for the initial idea<br/> and @davedarko for brainstorming.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Category: Electronics Summary</h3> <p>If you are into smd soldering than this thing will make your live much easier.<br/> The smd turntable consists of a base and a "donut" with compartments for your project-specific smd components.<br/> Each compartment can have it's own label (for e.g. R1, R2, C1, U1,...).<br/> The donut comes with a cover and is replaceable, so you can swap easily between your projects.<br/> The donut is also a very good solution for archiving your project-specific smd parts.<br/> There is a 9mm and a 12mm donut (height) available, depending on your label height (e.g. DymoLabel printer 12mm).
