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.
