Bill of Materials
Description
USB powered turntable with variable speed. 179 mm diameter. Three gears are provided for setting the base speed. Additional speed control is available with the optional Bambu speed controller. Speed ranges from 4 to 10 RPM. Can be used to take GIF videos of your creations, for video filming, for 3D scanning, or as a way to display your work. The USB speed controller is optional, but recommended. The TT Motor and the speed controller are available through the Bambu store and are very affordable.
As with any moving parts printed with PLA, the parts may require some run-in time to make them run smooth. If your model has vibration from the gears, let it run for 20 to 30 minutes and it will smooth out. Also try adjusting the motor position to find the optimal spot with no vibration. Vaseline (petroleum jelly) can be applied sparingly to the gear teeth and the center sliding surfaces.
The .gif image makes it look jerky, but it actually turns very smoothly.
