Summary

I use this turntable for spray painting, airbrush painting, and for videoing completed prints. I designed it from scratch as my first project before realizing that Thingiverse exists.

The turntable has a 10cm diameter.

This thing was made with Tinkercad. Edit it online https://www.tinkercad.com/things/5msl9o0ZOdn

How I Designed This

This was my first 3D design project, and I didn't know anything about motors or design going in. There are cheaper motorized turntables, but this one is mine. I originally designed it with the intention of it being solar powered as a plant display, but quickly discovered that PLA melts in direct sunlight. It found a second, more useful life as a painting and videography tool.
