Artivact Turntable

Automatic Object Rotation

In order to speedup item creation, and since the camera can be automatically controlled, the object can be automatically rotated by Artivact as well.

Based on other do-it-yourself 3D scanner solutions in the web, Artivact provides an automatic 3D turntable.

The parts have to be 3D printed and assembled by yourself. It can afterward be used to rotate the object automatically between image capturing.

Required Parts

The following parts are required to assemble the turntable.

Arduino Sketch

The Arduino Nano needs to have the following sketch installed: sketch_artivact-tt-v1.ino. Please refer to the Arduino Documentation for how to do this.

Assembly

Print out the 3D parts and assemble the base.

Add the stepper motor and wire it to the driver Board:

Wire the driver board to the Arduino Nano:

Attach magnets to the top plate and assemble all remaining parts:
