SMD Turntable V1 (inkl. XL version)

SMD Turntable V1 (inkl. XL version)

Description

If you are into smd soldering than this thing will make your live much easier. The smd turntable consists of a base and a "donut" with compartments for your project-specific smd components. Each compartment can have it's own label (for e.g. R1, R2, C1, U1,...). The donut comes with a cover and is replaceable, so you can swap easily between your projects. The donut is also a very good solution for archiving your project-specific smd parts. There is a 9mm and a 12mm donut (height) available, depending on your label height (e.g. DymoLabel printer 12mm). Each compartment has a small gap to place the label in. It's recommended to use BluTack on the working surface or just silicon (a self-cutted plate or liquid silicon) to keep your smd board on place. The XL files offers you a working surface diameter of 148mm - the default one has 71mm (check your max print bed size! - no problem if you have the Prusa i3 MK3). You need a standard ball bearing (22mm, 8mm, 7mm) - the ones from your old inline skates ;-) Assembly guide: ============= For the base you need the file: 1_TurntableBase.stl For the default working surface: 2a_Workingsurface.stl 2b_WorkingsurfaceAxis.stl (Place the printed axis in the center whole of the working surface - all the way down. You can also use some glue to keep the axis in place.) For the XL working surface: 2a_WorkingsurfaceXL.stl 2b_WorkingsurfaceAxis.stl (same as above) For the default donut: 3a_Donut9mm.stl OR 3b_Donut12mm.stl 4_DonutCover.stl For the XL donut (XL working surface): 3a_Donut9mmXL.stl (no 12mm available for now) 4_DonutCoverXL.stl Tipp: If there is a scratch noise while rotating, just put some extra space (e.g. paper) under the ball gearing. Many thanks to the @unexpectedmaker for the initial idea and @davedarko for brainstorming.
