Wind Up Turn-Table 3D Printed

Sorry for the lack of images, they may come in the future, or if you printed it yourself and have images, let me know if you want them included in this project.

I have been trying to make a working wind-up object from scratch for a while now, so this is only my first time making something that winds up. This is a (theoretically) working 3d printed turn-table that can be used as a record player, or a display for an item. Be warned that this item has not been tested, but feel free to comment and explain how yours worked out and I may credit you as a tester. Most of the parts are meant to be printed with no support, besides the actual table part, which does require supports. Everything should fit loosely except for the base, which should be very tight as to yield a tight connection so it doesn't jostle around. Add glue to the base if necessary.

What you will need is a 3d printer/contact with someone who owns a 3d printer, and the STL files attached. You can use the image as a guide, as well as this link to a 3d model of the full assembly: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/gGEuKgdQkaB-sizzling-vihelmo-bombul/edit?returnTo=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tinkercad.com%2Fdashboard

If you do not have contact with a 3d printer, and you really want this, then please contact a 3d printer farm.

Take the files from the previous step, (optional) scale them equally to fit your preferences, and send them to your printer for printing. There isn't much to put here, as I didn't print this (yet) so I don't know how it will turn out.

Using the attached image and link from 2 steps ago, assemble the model. Use the cylinder (Part 4) as a handlebar for winding the turntable. If you want to wind you table by screwing the top, be my guest, and just don't print the crank. Use the image from the thumbnail as a guide as to where the pieces should go. The frame tightly fits into the base, and the spiral gear gets fit in between both of those parts. Images of each part are attached above

Wind up your side gear with the crank and watch it spin. I will test it myself, but in the meantime, test it yourself and let me know how it goes.

Have fun, and let me know how it goes! Happy Thanks-spinning :D

Turtle begs to be spun 🐢...

...Please print this model to save the turtle.
