Rotating Driver Stand

Easy to grab, easy to put back.

(suitable for all Drivers with a 12mm shaft).

------------------------------

Socket Screw Version:

What you need:

• 1x 608 Ball-bearing
• 2x (8x16mm) Hex Screws - nothing more - nothing less ;)

Preparation:

• Insert the 608 Ball-bearing into the “Rotating plate”.

  To do so, place the bearing on a flat and hard surface and locate the “Rotating plate” on to the bearing and give it a good push until its level.

  ⚠ Don't do this on a wooden or delicate desk! The bearing could leave a dent or imprint.

Assembly:

1. Push the “Pole” into the “Base” and screw the Socket Screw into place until sitting flush.
2. Press the Socket Screw Head into the “Cap”.
3. Drop the 0.2mm Spacer on the “Caps” Screw.
4. Locate the “Rotating plate” on the “Caps” Screw
5. Now Screw both assemblies together and adjust the play of the “Rotating plate” by tightening or loosening the Cap.

Threaded Rod Version:

What you need:

• 1x 608 Ball-bearing
• 1x 8mm Threaded Rod
• 1x 8mm Nylon-Hex-nut

Preparation:

• Cut the threaded rod to length (131 - 132mm) 

  ⚠ To avoid cutting yourself further down the build, please file down the sharp edge.

• Screw the 8mm Hex-nut on the Threaded Rods end until it sits flush. 

  ⚠ You might need a vise to hold the Threaded Rod or use the Double-nut-trick ;)

   

• Insert the 608 Ball-bearing into the “Rotating plate”.

  To do so, place the bearing on a flat and hard surface and locate the “Rotating plate” on to the bearing and give it a good push until its level.

  ⚠ Don't do this on a wooden or delicate desk! The bearing could leave a dent or imprint.

Assembly:

1. Slide the “Base” over the Threaded Rod (..and align the seam as you're at it)
2. Slide the “Pole” over the Threaded Rod too and push it into the “Base”.
3. Now locate the “Rotating plate”.
4. Drop the 0.2mm “Spacer” on top of the Ball-bearing.
5. Screw the “Cap” into place and adjust the play of the “Rotating plate” by tightening or loosening.

Note:

• If printed in matte PETG tolerances are tighter than with normal PETG or PLA.

  "Cap 0.1" will be too tight!! - Print “Cap 0.2” instead. (0.2mm tolerance)

   

* My offer to you:

If you like the design, but would like a version with different sized holes to fit your Drivers or wish a “Rotating plate” with more holes, please let me know in the comments or via DM and I'll see what I can do.

Happy printing and mounting everyone!!
