TTT The Tiny Turntable - for curing and more..

thingiverse

While searching for a turntable to UV-cure my parts, I discovered that most turntables are quite pricey. Only spinning small objects in circles wasn't worth 20-40 euros for me. After researching on eBay, I found what's called "plate-motors," which serve as replacements for microwave ovens. They're available from 3-8 euros and run on mains voltage. Of course, you can buy them with a big microwave oven brand label for 35 euros. Honesty is the best policy - designing a turntable for hours on CAD isn't included in the bill, but the end result is unique to each person. The little holes in the table can be used to stick pins into place, which hold the object securely in position. Now, print it out, like it and assemble it just as shown in the pictures. WARNING: Fixing the wiring should only be done by someone who's absolutely sure of what they're doing; otherwise, let a certified electrician handle it. I'm not responsible for any faulty wiring or electrical shock. Are there any bugs? The screws that hold the motor don't fit into the latches on the motor. Rather than redesigning the case, simply cut the latches in between the holes to create one large slot if you prefer.
