Thank You :)

I wanted to take fully rotating pictures of objects. for example: nickisdesign.com/?selectImage=260

I created the track using OpenScad based on a lazy susan that I got at the hardware store.

Each divot in the track is at a 5 degree mark.

I'm working on a polar-polar 3d printer concept. I thought that a tapered roller bearing turntable could be fully printed yet still be pretty precise, where linear printed axes are hard to get running smoothly. Also, the printer would be able to print the entire bearing/table, rather than having to section it. The file is sized for a 140x140mm table.
Its noisy when lightly loaded, but very quiet with a 215 pound load ;-). The photo was taken after the load test!
Sorry about the faceting on the race; Sketchup's follow me function is not all that impressive.

We spend a lot of time around oomlout HQ shopping online. We've recently taken a shining to 360 degree product photos and wanted some of our own. So we fired up the laser cutter and made ourselves a stepper motor controlled Lazy Susan.

360 degree 3D laser scanner.

Still a work in progress, but I wanted to post what I have so far.

I'm also working on software at github.com/tbuser/spinscan

This file was used to laser cut the circular top for the Not Lazy Susan project in my book - see more at makingthingsmove.com!

This is an all plastic bearing using 6mm AirSoft BBs
