Rotating device for electroplating

This simple rotating device was made from scrap lying around and serves for slow rotation of the electroplated models. Read more about electroplating and using the device in a dedicated article.

I suggest using the Rotajig by XenoArch as my device was a one-purpose quick prototype and is far from being perfect. I just wanted to use the electronics I already had.

If you decide to use my device anyway, here's what you'll need:

• PETG filament
• Several M3 screws and nuts
• 1x 50mm M5 screw and 1x M5 nut
• 3x bearing 608 2RS CN (8x22x7 mm)
• 4 mm rod
• Any 24V brushed motor with a 24 mm diameter
• Speed controller (potentiometer)
• Superglue
• Lubricant for the wheels
• The rest of the electroplating setup, see the article.

I suggest sanding a motor shaft and gluing the small gear to the rough shaft surface. If the shaft is not sanded, the gear tends to fall.
