I started painting one of my models and realised I needed several paint turntables. Â This is version 2. Â
Â
Why should you want to use this instead of other 3D printable painting turntables?
- This version uses a 3D printed ball-bearing to make the turntable spin. Â Where did I get a 3D printed ball-bearing? Â I designed it (Print in place ball bearing (and fidget spinner) by emp3thy - MakerWorld). Â It spins amazingly smoothly.
- It's really, really easy to assemble
- The paint plate is easily swappable so you can paint a model or model part and then lift off the turntable and replace it with another one. Â If you're painting a model with separate pieces then this makes swapping out parts for painting really easy.Â
- Because the painting plates are swappable it means that if you want custom plates you can just print a new plate. Â I'll be making my own custom plates available shortly.Â
- All the parts for this are printable. Â There's no need to go and buy magnets, ball bearings or other bits. Â Everything you need can be printed.
While this is mostly aimed at painting, I can imaging this would be good for decorating cakes as well. Â I'm going to publish a cake turntable tray shortly. Â
Â
 If you think of a particular customisation then message me.

Happy printing!
