Pegboard Display Tower with Lazy Susan

This is a printable Peg Board tower that can optionally feature a Lazy Susan. My wife asked me to design and make these to hold her Cricut tools, as well as a second to hold her jewelry. These are designed for ¼ inch pegs with 1 inch spacing.

The colorful version in the picture is the one directly associated with these files, the blue one is the prototype.

I Printed this at 0.08 mm layer height in PLA. I see no obvious reason why it wouldn't work at 0.1 or 0.2, but let me know if anyone runs into issues. Most pieces were 3 Shells and 20% Cubic infill with the exception of the lazy susan pieces. Those had the infill bumped up to 50% because the entire weight of the tower will be on them.

You will need to print the following.

1 x peg_board_stand-Base (No Support Needed)

1 x peg_board_stand-Cap (Print Inverted, No Support Needed)

3 x peg_board_stand-pegboard_section (Print Inverted, Limited support needed for inner ledge)

Glue for Assembly, I used Super Glue.

OPTIONAL Lazy Susan

The Lazy Susan feature allows using a 3 Inch Lazy Susan with the peg board. That way the peg board can rotate 360 degrees on the stand. I have attached pictures to help guide through how I did it, but ultimately there is no “Lazy Susan Standard”. Since all of them are a bit difference I designed the printable pieces with no holes, you will either need to drill them to match your lazy susan, or maybe use a strong adhesive.

For the Lazy Susan you will need.

1. A 3 Inch Lazy Susan (Probably 2.8 Inches in Reality)
2. 1 x peg_board_stand-lazy_susan_top (Support needed)
3. 1 x peg_board_stand-lazy_susan_base (No support needed)
4. 1 x Lazy Susan Attachement Method
   1. Hardware Method (What I used below may not work with your Lazy Susan)
      1. 8 x M3 8mm Hex Socket Screws
      2. 8 x M3 Nuts
      3. 8 x M3 Washers
      4. Thread Lock To make sure they don't come loose down the road.
      5. Drill and 3mm or 1/8th inch Drill Bit.
   2. Strong Adhesive?

Assembly

No Lazy Susan

    Without the Lazy Susan it's very straight forward. The pieces are designed to fit easily into each other and a small amount of super glue in the internal edges of where they go together holds it in place. 

With Lazy Susan

    More or less the assembly is the same Except for the Lazy Susan Assembly which goes on top of the base and under the first pegboard section. I have attached pictures for reference on how I did it. You may find a better way, but the procedure goes something like the following.

1. Mark the holes for the base.
   1. Place the lazy susan into the 3 inch square pockets on the lazy susan base piece.
   2. Rotate it until the corner of the lazy susan are touching all four sides of the pocket. This will center the lazy susan. 
   3. Mark the placement / holes with a writing utensil. 
   4. With the lazy susan still in place, rotate the top section that is not in the pocket so it is 90 degrees off, carefully mark the location of one of those holes.
2. Mark the holes for the top.
   1.  Place the lazy susan into the 3 inch square pockets on the lazy susan top piece.
   2. Rotate it until the corner of the lazy susan are touching all four sides of the pocket.
   3. Mark the placement / holes with a writing utensil.
3. Drill 3 mm holes at each marked location.
4. Place 4 of your screws and nuts on one side of the lazy susan so that the cap of the screw is on the inside of the lazy susan. Screw them finger tight so they will not interfere with the other side. It's important that your screw cap is not too thick or the lazy susan will not be able to turn.
5. Use the remaining 4 screws, nuts and washers to attach the lazy susan to the lazy susan base piece with the cap of the screw on the inside of the lazy susan. The washer should be on side with the nut.
6. Remove the nuts on the free side of the lazy susan, although the screws are more or less trapped by the base piece, try not to let them fall back. You can use the extra hole in the base to reach through with a small screw driver or allen wrench to secure the screw.
7. Carefully line up and push the screws through the lazy susan top piece, secure with washers and nuts. Use the extra hole you put in the base to reach through and tighten each screw.
8. You should now have the completed lazy susan assembly which should turn freely, use thread lock on the screws if you are happy with it's functionality.
