Hey, the motor with the screw that keeps coming loose is turning the opposite direction of the other motor. If you change the orientation of the wires on the back of the motor, then it should turn the other way... which may stop the screw from loosening. Hope this helps!
Great tutorial...I know you're in the U.S. and we have different amazon and stuff from you....but just linking stuff makes it easier for me to find it here. I've never done a tumbler turner but I'm interested to make my own. Thank you so much! LOVED the entire video. Cheers :)
I figured out the cap problem not fitting 1/2” pvc pipe. I bought 1/2” caps from Home Depot. I drilled a hole in the center to fit in the end. Now I can use 1/2” pvc pipe.
The screw that keeps coming loose, I would recommend Threadlock. Cheap bottle of blue stuff that will hold the threads in place. its the reason that Store bought products are so difficult to take apart.
The blue caps that the wands connect into can probably be replaced with pvc caps that are threaded. I did that with the turner bought from amazon so I could make it extra wands to change out.
Hi Alison, Hello from the UK , yours is not the first tumbler turner channel that have made this request ,that said, @4:09 , I have purchased this same motor ( AC 100 -127v ) I'm a wood turner and I need to make a motorized turntable , with said motor , wired it up left it running while I found the grub screws and Allen wrench got back it was over heating , it was rather hot , the problem maybe the voltage (UK mains electric runs on 240 volts ), any help would be appreciated,,. Stay safe,. Regards Alf
Personal opinion…I watched the video on the globeous and was holding out to buy that…however I would like a mult spinner (I just planned on buying more globeous singles)….what do you think? I know there were several reasons you liked the globeous…space, 2 way direction spin, etc
Does the screw you tightened with the wrench and screwdriver you said kept coming loose hold the piece that the tube slips into? If so you could use a piece of half inch or 3/4 inch PVC and end caps for replacement rods.. just drill a hole in the center of a cap and the PVC pipe will slide right into it.
I have a question... do you know how I could obtain a replacement for the hobby lobby's single cup tumbler maker Turner arm screw all I see is long screw, it don't even have a name all I see is "long screw"?
I’ve had the same question for a week with all kinds of search results with no leads or ends. The ones on Amazon are currently unavailable. Is there anyway to get the link to 3D print them? Please, thank you 😊

Watching now, but you know what I really like about your tutorials ? They’re short, sweet, & to the point. I am subscribed. Thank you!!!!!
Thank you for subscribing! I'm so glad you like the videos 💕 no one has time to comb through and hour long tutorial lol!!!
You should be able to replace the pvc cap and pvc arms with standard size pvc. Also try a little loctite on that screw.
I agree with the other posters, I love your tutorials! It's nice to have someone who's concise, and straight to the point. Thank you.
Thank you
You can use a cap of the size of pvc and drill a hole and use an M5 screw to attach the cap to the motor.
Thank you for sharing this tutorial. It’s been the most simplest I’ve ever seen on making a cup turner. Definitely something doable.
Totally doable!

I changed mine to a 3/4 inch CPVC and just used the flat end caps.

Thanks for sharing getting ready to order mines now 😊
Thank you so much :) Happy new year :)
Thank you so much for your tutorials, they are very easy to follow thank you 🙏🏼🇦🇺
THanks for watching
I like this idea. Thanks so much for doing this tutorial.
Thanks for watching!
I'm deliberating making a 4 (or even 6!) Cup turner. I'm scared, but I may need to go for it. My one cup turner isn't enough
do it!! It will be so nice to have a lot of turners!
@@AlisonCrafts I'm nervous, but I think I'll try! A 4 cup one. Need to find decent lumber at a good price
Omg, you're teasing me with the HP book tumbler in the video. Need that tutorial yesterday! Haha
soon!!!
I suggest you put a lock washer to prevent the screws from coming off.
Nice job
I'm pretty sure that motor can spin either way.. you may be able to grab the arm and switch the direction to keep the screw from unscrewing
It has been helping to only have it spin towards the right so the screw doesn't get loose while spinning!
You could put lock tight on screw and it would not keep coming loose
I used E6000 and it came loose. Ugh. I will try loctite!

Use BLUE LOC TIGHT on any screws that come loose..it will keep them from coming loose but you can also take them off if needed
Thank you! I just got some to add !
Use blue loctite for the screw that keeps getting lose.
Thank you! I'm glad to hear you recommend it, i just bought some last week LOL!
Where your screw keeps loosening take it out and put some kind of glue or adhesives behind it.
The side that comes loose is reversed polarity .it spins the opposite direction so it comes off.simply switch the wires around on that motor....
darn the motor setup kit is no longer available on amazon
Does the screw you tightened with the wrench and screwdriver you said kept coming loose hold the piece that the tube slips into? If so you could use a piece of half inch or 3/4 inch PVC and end caps for replacement rods.. just drill a hole in the center of a cap and the PVC pipe will slide right into it.
Try putting some thread lock on that screw that keeps working out.
How do you make this without purchasing the motors?... Like make the motors from something else like a clock or something?
I’m not sure, but they’re pretty cheap now to just grab on Amazon! amzn.to/42dHnxl
What were the measurements you used to drill out the holes with the spade bits?
I have a question... do you know how I could obtain a replacement for the hobby lobby's single cup tumbler maker Turner arm screw all I see is long screw, it don't even have a name all I see is "long screw"?
And also I would very much appreciate it if you could see about the other parts of the your DIY Tumbler Turner please. Thank you Kindly
Do both motors plug into the one side together? So in parallel?
The link you provided for the motor kit is not correct.
Do these spend all the way around? Or stop and reverse?
Link for motor kit on amazon?
Change the direction of the one motor that’s unscrewing
Sorry if I missed it, but did you include a link for the tumbler turner you said you bought from Amazon?
amzn.to/3AV2sxt
Thank you!
Less than $30? Amazon has several for that price.
Where is the link to the spinner you bought off Amazon. I am not able to make one myself right now
www.amazon.com/shop/alisoncrafts?listId=2692C777II1V8
What are you using to hold your cups, are you using footballs?
I use foam but going to transition to 3D printed inserts! The foam is listed here under tumbler tools www.amazon.com/shop/alisoncrafts
I’ve had the same question for a week with all kinds of search results with no leads or ends. The ones on Amazon are currently unavailable. Is there anyway to get the link to 3D print them? Please, thank you 😊
Think I’m going to the dollar tree. For. A cup turner it’s 5 bucks 😊
This video is old, there weren't as many options as there are now! Definitely super easy to find one to buy, just read some reviews first :)
add a little blue lock tite.
