3D Printed Wine Bottle Carousel
This build is a complement to the Wine Glass Shelf build, you can see that here. This build is almost completely 3D printed with the exception of one hardware piece. With a simple finish and assembly, you can enjoy a rotating wine bottle carousel.
​What You Will Need
Materials:
3D Printed Carousel
3D Printed Base
Tools:
Orbital Sander (optional)
Any/all necessary protective equipment.

3D Printed Parts
The print time for the carousel is quite extensive at its current design so I would not feel comfortable recommending 3D Hubs since the cost would likely be too high to justify.
For those of you who do have a 3D printer, I recommend the following settings:
Carousel (decent surface quality to limit amount of sanding needed)
Filament choice not really important
0.2mm layer height
25-30% infill
Support required
Raft recommended due to minimal surface contact
Base
Filament choice not really important
0.2mm or higher layer height
15-20% infill
No Support
Brim optional
Finishing 3D Prints
- Remove raft and support material.
- Sand carousel to the desired smoothness. Start with 220 or 320 grit and move up until you have a nice smooth part without visible print lines.
- Wipe the sanded parts with a lightly damp cloth or paper towel.
- Apply even and light coat of primer.
- Allow enough time for primer to dry, then sand lightly.
- Wipe the sanded parts with a lightly damp cloth or paper towel.
- Once the parts are dry, evenly apply light coat(s) of bronze spray paint.
- Once the parts are dry, evenly apply light coat(s) of clear coat.
I will sometimes use a healthy amount of spot putty to help with print lines on parts that are difficult to sand. I will typically do this after the final sanding and before the primer.
Assembly
- Glue the turntable bearing onto the carousel and base respectively. Alternatively, you can fasten the bearing with screws.
- Insert wine bottles and enjoy your Wine Bottle Carousel!
