Intro

There is no turntable available from brands like Lego or Matel for the Duplo sized trains… I designed one myself using FreeCAD. My Ender 3 S1 isn't capable to print the base plate in one piece - therefore I split it into 6 segments: 

  1. one segments with the axis and the turning tool
  2. five equal segments with connecting elements to the regular tracks.

Printing

  • I printed all parts separately - total print time: estm. 42h 
  • Top Cover was printed up-side-down
  • Supportes on base-plate are necessary for:
    • Plate with Track
    • Hande
    • TurnTable
  • Supports on part are only required for:
    • Plate with Axis
  • Plate with Tracks is required 5 times!

Assembly

  • Remove all supports & cleanup the parts
  • test fit everything!
  • glue all base plates together
  • insert Gear B in gearbox (slides under the bar)
  • insert Gear T on the axis in gearbox
  • put (glue) Top Cover onto the plate (Axis will fit into Gear B bed on plate)
  • glue handle on Gear T Axis
  • insert turntable
  • finished…

Final words…

This is my first rather complex assembly in FreeCAD… There are definitely some topics to improve - put this version made it as a birthday present for my nephew ;-)
