Rotary Table for photography / photogrammetry powered by Arduino Nano.

Print all pieces w/out support, with exception of a portion of the stationary base under the control panel. Do not use supports on the bearing grooves around the stationary base / ring gear. Recommend fine layer height (e.g. 0.1mm) for bearing grooves.

Front plate / table top can be laser cut as seen in the photo.

To assemble the ring gear / stationary base (slewing bearing) - Align the grooves of each part, and load ball bearings through the access panel hole in the stationary base. Capacity is 54 1/4" bearings. Use grease to quiet movement. Access panel is installed in stationary base to prevent bearing escape via M2 FHSCS.
