Client (Butterfly Blooms Florist) required a photography turntable in order to advertise various planters and floral arrangements. Requirements included simplicity of use, able to rotate significant mass, and to allow for customization for various operation modes. 

​

Learned:

​

Dealing with rotating imbalance due to the weakness of the materials (material limitation) and taking note to design additional stability for these masses.

 

Experimented with various power sources to design the most optimized system. Simple interface uses a potentiometer to increase and decrease the turntable speed.  

​

Equipment Used:

• Arduino UNO

  • C++ Programming​

• Tolerances

  • Fitting "Snap-Tight" Bearings (smooth rotation)

• Gearing to Increase Output Torque (machine design)

• Enclosure Design

  • Fusion360 CAD and 3D Printed

  • Fusion360 SVG and Epilog Laser Cut
