I love this side of 3d printing, this is what its all about in my opinion. Liked and subbed

Thank you. And, yes, me too. I really feel we need to design and produce more and more functionality. I want to make machines (of some sort).

A really cool design that combines pins and prints them out!!! Simple, delicate and beautiful.

Great desing!!!! THANKS YOU!!!

Thank you for your feedback. Cheers.

Good shit bro

Its pretty decent though you could improve it 2 ways. Trivial is using conw shaped rolling elements instead of cylindrical ones, that would elliminate rolling friction (and increase life). As the innermost part of the cylinderical rolling elements has to roll on a smaller circle than the outermost part, they will slip and wear with current design. And ofc if you aim for perfection, you should use bevel gears - preferrably herringbone bevel gears - as rolling element. As that would elliminate the need to have bearing race.

Thank you for your feedback. I am not sure I understand the second point at the moment. But I will research it. The conical bearings are relatively easy to retrofit into this design. I will add those to the STL files available.

ok, having looked into it, it will need to be a new design (as I suspect you knew). So I still think the first design is pretty good and works well for light loads. I will put version 2.0 on my todo list.

@@pdb6251 Its perfectly fine design. I simply meant that using cone shaped rollers would turn "fine, and fit for purpose" design into "it will never wear out". As to using bevel gears as rolling element that would simply allow you to not need the roller cage as a spacer between rolling elements - with your cyli ders it can happen that (dust ...etc. causes) one or another to roll a bit slower, and they can bunch up in one spot leaving another part of the bearing unsupported. If you use gears as rolling element that cant happen.

Great design, will this work if I try steel laser cutting the parts?

wow, that is an interesting question. I am not too sure how this would do laser cutting but I would sure like to hear if you do it and perhaps see a photo. Thank you and good luck.

Thanks. I'm waiting for a Co. to get back to me re the laser cut but I doubt it will be possible. I got a few online quotes for 3D printing in 316 stainless steel and it's crazy expensive 😂. Maybe a simplified design can work as a cnc cut?

@@unisonproductions123 ok, I see. I guess that is the benefit of 3d printing in plastic or even metal. Cheers

saw you had alot of esun filament. my first experience with them was bad got a half open spool . how do u like esun?

I really love it. I was printing a lot of ABS+ at one point and I had a lot of confidence in it. But lately I am using PETG a lot more. I find lots of brands are great for PETG so using other brands now more and more. But I still love the 3kg esun PETG spools. And I have to say, I now really believe it is mostly about the first layer squish (at least for me). Once the first layer is dialed in the material/brand is less important.

does it lock into place, will the mini cilinders be able to if they were octogon cylinders or hexigon idk, what do you think is there a solution for a locking into place mechanism

Hi, I am not too sure what you mean, can you explain? The pin bearings are circular and they snap fit into the carrier which floats inside the top and bottom of the assembly. The top and bottom are a loose snap fit - so they stay together.

@@pdb6251 ok so theres an antena for 4g i want to us but i need a lazy susan to rotate it and to stop when i want it facing towards a tower your device look like the perfect size but missing the ability to lock into place in any direction, you get me?

​@@GG-rs5wr oh, ok, I see. I understand. In fact, the lazy Susan design rotates too easily for what you want. You actually do not need bearings because you need only very slow rotation and then you want it to stay wherever you stop. This could be a much simpler design. However, the antenna would need to be fastened to the turntable and the turntable would need to me fastened to the surface that it sits on. Otherwise things will just slide around.

do you have a STL for your project.

Yes, links to the STL files are listed at the bottom of my blog page for each product. In this case, here... www.logicalplanet.com/2023/10/20/lazy-susan/
