Vinyl Record Weight / Stabilizer

thingiverse

My First Attempt At A Standard 12 Inch Record Weight (And/Or Stabilizer). Since I Didn't See Any Designs, I Thought I'd Create My Own. Record Weights Are Believed To Help Reduce External Vibrations From Speakers, Flatten Warped Records, And Add A Touch Of Personality To Your Setup! All Printers Produce Slightly Different Results, So Use The "Penny Tester" STL To Ensure The Scaling Percentage Is Correct Before Printing Everything. SPECS: -6 Internal Compartments Allow You To Add US Pennies To Achieve The Desired Weight. I Recommend Using A Scale To Find Your Perfect Balance Point. -Spindle Hole Is Slightly Larger Than My Spindle, Ensuring It Fits All Turntables. -Outer Diameter Provides Clearance For Most Large-Style Needles When Vinyl Has Ended (See Photo). -The Weight Height Should Fit In Most Turntables With The Dust Lid Closed. If It's Too Tall Or Short, Simply Adjust The Z Scaling Percentage. RECOMMENDATIONS: -Print Walls Two Layers Thick And Enable Supports Under The Lid. This Design Is Optimized For A Smooth Print With A 0.4mm Nozzle. -Add Rubber Or Felt To The Bottom Of The Weight To Prevent It From Scratching Your Vinyl Label. This Is Just The Beginning, And I'm Open To Feedback And Suggestions. Maybe Future Versions Will Accommodate 45 RPM Vinyls. Thanks For Printing On!
