turntable

A 3D printable, load-bearing design, turntable style bearing, flat disc, lazy susan, printable, using 10mm steel balls. Designed and tested in 2020; I can stand on this bearing and spin around without damaging it. It's a good example for the minimal material to suit the function at hand. I'm publishing an array of free and open designs to form a community that collaborates with real engineering talent and relevant modern applications. -David This is one bearing configuration with high strength in the axial direction, for easy modification (more balls to support higher loads, adjusted tolerances for performance, etc.) See OpenSpin on github for more info! https://qr.net/openspinproject And OpenLab for multitidisciplinary engineering info https://qr.net/openlabproject
