Description
This base goes with proto_boy's swatch carousel. It makes the base bigger so it's easier to hold with one hand while rotating the carousel with the other. This model also has a hole in the bottom so you can remove the bearing.
Apparently Bambu (used to?) sell swatch sets that fit this carousel. I've been printing my own swatches using this model. [Bambu Lab filament swatches](https://makerworld.com/en/models/18220)
I modeled this in Fusion 360 from proto_boy's dimensions. I've included the Fusion model in .f3d and .STEP formats.
I used PLA and 0.2mm layer height, default parameters. It would probably work fine with other materials and settings.
Use this base along with the top half and spring from proto_boy's model and a 608 bearing. This base has a tighter hole for the spring, so you won't need to glue it in.
Hint: put a piece of packing tape over the ramp section to make it smoother. Otherwise the swatches will catch on the layer edges.
