Turntable Stabilizer Mount

thingiverse

I made these in TinkerCAD to tackle a problem that's been plaguing me. Apparently, I stomp through the halls like a human wrecking ball, so every time I'd walk past the record player it would skip - every single time. I'm not even that big, I swear! So, I designed four of these mounts (8pcs total) to solve the issue, combining them with a spring, some hot glue, and maybe an adhesive pad. My goal was to make sure my record player wouldn't absorb all the shock from my thunderous strides. They require a pretty robust spring to place in between the parts. I recommend checking out hobby stores or Amazon for a box of assorted springs. Depending on your record player's weight and the amount of stabilization needed, you might need to switch it up a bit. Once they're hot-glued together with a spring connecting them, they work quite well! Just place them in the four corners of your player and make sure they're evenly distributed. Additionally, consider investing in some adhesive pads to stick the mounts to the bottom of the unit itself. I haven't done it yet, but I worry that the player might come crashing down one day due to slippage of the mounts from underneath. That said, good luck!
