Mini display turntable, USB or battery powered.

Elevate your model displays with this handy USB/ battery powered turntable. It's quick to print in only 7 individual pieces and assembles in only a few steps. I printed the platform on Bambu's carbon fibre effect build plate sheet as I think it gives a nice floor to objects placed on it.

• Powered either by 4 x AAA Batteries or USB cable. ***DO NOT POWER WITH BOTH!***
• Printable on an A1 mini.
• Discrete on/off switch on the bottom - keeps the turntable uniform to not detract from the displayed subject.
• 3 RPM - “Goldilocks zone” display speed - Not too fast, Not too slow.
• Assembled with screws, no glue. Designed to be repairable should any parts wear/ get damaged over time.
• Smooth and relatively quiet operation. The bearing, coupled with the turntable's gear reduction help to take strain off the motor and reduce mechanical noise.
