Description

PDF

I had a large platter printed out of marble PLA for taking clean images on, but realized I wanted it motorized. Elkromo had a concept I liked so I modified it to suit my needs. Added some cable mgmt. Made it so you can power it via micro usb.

 

Printing: Should only need tree supports underneath the bearing pegs. I split those off such that you can print them in different orientations, but I believe the strongest is all as one piece.

 

Materials used:

3 x 609RS bearings - This link is 10 per package https://a.co/d/3b4UfFv

1 x Micro USB to DIP adapter - This link is 10 per https://a.co/d/bg9761w

1 x High Torque gearbox - https://a.co/d/czx4Tct

1 x Low voltage DC speed controller - This link has 6 https://a.co/d/69pDUQj

Mounting - Bearings and motor are mostly press-fit. The boards screw in with screws, the ones I used are bad so I'll leave that up to you, but the holes are 2.5mm and the openings on the boards are 3mm, so need to be under 3mm.
