Motorized IKEA SNUDDA Turntable

by Svw

This 3D print provides an easy way to add a speed controllable motor to an IKEA SNUDDA turntable. This allows you to show off artfull 3D creations (your 3D prints, your kids' master pieces, …) from all sides. Features: Motorization is barely visible (recessed below large disc) Turntable is not increased in height Can be powered with standard USB charger (e.g. smartphone charger) Uses standardized N20 DC geared motor The large bevel gear has 140 teeth. The small bevel gear has 7 teeth. Hence the large disc will rotate 20 times slower than the motor shaft. If you buy a DC motor with 50 RPM, the maximum rotation speed of the large disc is 2.5 turns per minute or once every 24 seconds. If you need more speed buy a 100 RPM motor, but you probably want to spin it a lot slower, which is possible by turning the speed knob down. I bought my parts from amazon, but if you have the time, you can get them very cheap from aliexpress.  Parts list: IKEA SNUDDA Lazy Susan (900.744.83): IKEA: €7 DC Geared Motor N20 DC 6V Brush 50 or 100 RPM Electric Micro High Torque: amazon: €9.50 or aliexpress: € 1.50 PWM DC Low Voltage Motor Speed Controller 1803BK: amazon: €8.75 for 2 pcs or aliexpress: € 1 DIY Male Connector MICRO USB to DIP Adapter 2.54mm 5pin: amazon: €5 for 10 pcs or aliexpress: €1 for 10 pcs 4x electrical wire in different colors 6x wood screws 3 mm x 12 mm (self drilling) In action:   Print Instructions Everything is easy to print in PLA.
