Duck Platform Spinning 3D Printed (not Lego)

draaiende platform

I made a Spinning platform for rubber ducks wich you can take of using a other machine with a hook.

Supplies

you need a 3D printer to print the components, a 24V motor, a laptop to draw the print and export the print to an sd card, 2 wires ( i prefer a red and a black one)

Stuff You Need

first you start with getting all of your components together

  • laptop
  • 3D printer
  • Solid works
  • Ultimaker Cura
  • rubber duck
  • hook to put together with rubbber duck so you can pick it up with a crane.
  • SD Card
  • SD to USB port

3D Drawing in Solid Works

once you've gathered all the components you start drawing everything.

1: platform has a diameter of 200mm, and a thickness of 5mm, make the sides a bith curvy so it looks nicer, on the bottom of the platform you will need to make a little cilinder with a hole in it so you can connect it to the motor you have, the hole you make depends on the motor you use.

2: the Box has a length from 100m by 100mm and a height of 50mm it needs to have a hole of 20mm at the top in the middle where the motor can go trough, and leave a hole on the side where the power cables can come out

3: a small plate to cover up the cable management and motor

Printing Out the Parts

So if you have a 3D printer to use you want to put the components you made in solid works and export them to Ultimaker Cura where you can put it on a SD card and insert into the printer, so it can start printing out the parts.

Putting the Prints Together

so you want to put every little piece together now so the platform and the box and the plate, you want to insert the motor into the box,

Last Step

once you have put the prints together you want to place the ducks on top of the platform but of course you cannot pick up the ducks without a hook on the ducks so just place a ring trough their head so you can pick them up with a hook and use it as a sort of circus attraction.

Finished Product

once you've done all steps you should be done and the product should be working, if you want to re use the product you can just use the platform without the rubber ducks on it and can use it to make adverts for certain companies where you put their product on the platform spin it around and film it.
