Haha, I cut out the part where I put the soldering iron back in the solder station upside down somehow and melted a chunk of it... Oh the magic of waiting
Great video! Thanks for sharing! Couple questions. How do you record your audio while recording video? Or do you re-record later? It’s just feels like your mic is super close to your mouth and I don’t see one in the video. What and where did you get the motor? I’m looking to build a similar thing to paint gas cylinders that would be roughly your weight and it seems like that motor would do the trick. And not to be the internet a******, but you clearly do great work and just wanted to pass along two tools that may help a fellow builder. Step bits, drill bits that would do what you did here with your switch hole. And zip tie cutters to cleanly cut zip ties. Stanley makes an affordable set, and Ty-Rap makes a really nice set that is…well we use them in the defense industry, so that should tell you how much they cost. Thanks again for that great video and a really nice build!
This is cool ~ I build ceramic spheres with cutouts😮 where I'd like to put on a motorized turn table display stand that can have a standard led lightbulb. There are some that are similar. With the exception of the light is built into the base and isn't bright enough. Normally when I google some idea I have, there is someone who has created it. I can't find anything, which surprised me. Either way, your are very talented.
How cool, are you trying to have the LED lightbulb rotate along with the platform part of the stand? If yes you'll have to use electrical slip rings or something similar around the center of turntable. Good luck and thanks for watching!
@@AsaMakes ~ Thanks for the info. I did find rechargeable, remote control lightbulbs which can stand alone and are much brighter than a led puck lights. So now I can just use a standard motorized turntable with the light inside.
wow this is really awesome!! would like to use it to build my own tennis-ball-machine ;-) Any chance you can share the 3d-files, too? so we would be able to modify them (if needed) when f.e. the products in our countries are not of the exact same size..
Very cool! And yes I just added the CAD files to the printables link in the video description. I modeled these in SolidWorks maker version which is $10/month - since then I have started using Fusion 360 which is free for non commercial work
@@AsaMakes nice! I'm using Fusion360, too. Very cool tool but till now I only created simple models ;-) I will let you know when the ballmachine is finished once :-P then you can see it rotating in action! thanks again for the video.
Damn this video was great!! Your channel is way underrated. How powerful was that motor? I was really impressed with the amount of weight the turntable was able to spin.
Thank you! The motor is 12V and 1.6amps, P=IV, so 12V*1.6amp is about 19watts amzn.to/46AjEt5, it's pretty low power It's heavily geared down though, motor is geared down to 40rpm and then I geared it down in the turntable design by another 1:5ish (I don't remember exactly). The real reason the motor can turn me around is the nice 8inch bearing I used so most of my weight is transferred to the case and the ground and the motor doesn't have to work too hard to turn the turntable. Thanks for watching and commenting! I'm slowly but surely growing in subs and views :)
can you share the screws you used to mount the gear to the coupler? I've tried different ones and couldnt find the right one 🙈 most of them are to long or the head is to big..
I'm super excited you're building this! I'm traveling this week so I won't be able to say exactly which screw size but I was from this kit: amzn.to/40xtc5r Most likely I used a M3 button head screw and a normal nut with mild loctite 222 or similar. From memory it was around 12mm long and I remember it was somewhat difficult to tighten the screws with an Allen wrench for the screw head + pair of pliers holding the nut in place
Wow, look at Mr. "remembers to put the heat shrink on before soldering the wires together" over here. The mark of a true professional.

Great to see the fume extractor being used again. And the testing was hilarious
I made a pretty bold claim that it's the best fume extractor so I better put my money where my not lead-contaminated mouth is.
Thanks for watching!
I like it. Hopefully I can use something like it to show the pants.
Great job👍🌲🍦
Thanks! It's still going strong on the original 9V battery though I don't think it has enough juice to rotate me around again...
this was great! Thank you for sharing the hardware links and the 3D print model!
Thanks for watching! Let me know if you make your own or build off the design for something better
Great video! Thanks for sharing!

Ok, someone who actually puts links in the description of their videos! So you already answered one of my questions! I guess I am THAT guy.

Shoot me an email asa@asamakes.com - I have a picture on my phone
do you know if the lazy susan has to be the brand you linked? or is this a "standard"-size and I can choose another one?
I know the one I linked fits - if you pick a different one you may have to modify the design to get it to fit
