Description
So, I got another challenge from my better half, and it would seem that it was an easy one this time: Print this model I found on Printables.
…But it was easy. Too easy. "What the hell is wrong"-easy.
The model she found was depending on 806ZZ bearings, and didn't seem to be quite finished. Instead I took a leaf out of Jeremy Clarksons book and said to myself “How hard can it be?”.
Similarily to a dad going out in the garage to work on something (i.e have “one” garage beer), I went to my office, cracked one open and got to modeling.
The result is - keeping the naming convention to that sweet 80's and 90's - The Turntable 3000. If it was more mechanical than this, I would have slapped a “Turbo” on it as well, just to be sure.
Features a table that turns on a carriage with 4 printable wheels, rolling on a stand that you might want to put some furniture pads on the bottom of. You do you.
Also has a printable bolt to keep it all nice and tight. Keeping to standards, you can subsititute that printed bolt with a M8 20mm bolt made of metal instead if you so pleases, just remember to use a lock-nut if you do.
I made my first ever GIF to show how it works - Tadaaa!
I also made a table part without the holes for those aligator grips, if you don't need them.
The better half wants to start airbrushing small figurines after airbrushing an entire human in UV bodypaint, so thats why they are there.
The table in the GIF is printed on a bed sheet that makes it have that pattern on top. You gonna need a bed sheet like that if you want the same - find it on your favourite website for printer supplies.

I like statistics, and the like button provides that - so thank you in advance :-)

Print instructions
I have tried to orient the parts in the way they are supposed to be printed.
The table(s) need a small support inside the cavity for the bolt, but other than that supports are not needed.
Layer height: 0.2mm or whatever.
External perimeters first: Yes.
Print the wheel part 4 times (says so in the name of the file).
The bolt and nut are designed to be a little tight, so that it will stay together when you turn the table around.
