Display Turntable

myminifactory

This is a powered turntable that can be used to display a small object/model or to take video footage, resulting in a 360° view of the object. In addition to the printed parts, I used the following equipment:- Stepper motor and drive boardArduino pro miniBuck converterMini toggle switches10KΩ linear potentiometer10KΩ ResistorPanel mount DC jackAC to DC power supply608ZZ bearingSmall self tapping screws I also used a small section of prototyping stripboard to make all the connections for the components. This webpage provided the information about how to create the code to control the stepper motor speed. With a bit of tweaking, I added the code for the direction change switch to reverse the motor. The wiring schematic and code for the Arduino are in the "Documents Attached" section below. Items need to be placed in the centre of the turntable otherwise there may be some wobble on the top section.
