Introduction: Rotatable Model Display Stand
In this project, I made a rotatable display stand, you can put your favorite model on it and display it! The display stand can carry any object below 16kg and will turn 180 degrees anticlockwise and then turn 180 degrees back to its original position.
Supplies
You will need the followings:
An Arduino UNO & Genuino UNO
- 3 wires
- A USB transmitter
- A Tower Pro MG996R servo motor
- A piece of big cardboard
Arduino IDE
A Computer
Scissor or utility knife
Hot melt glue guns
Step 1: Copy a Circuit Like the One in This Image
Step 2: Click the Link Below to See the Code
Step 3: Making the Outline of the Display Stand
First, cut the cardboard into the following pieces:
- 4 trapezoids
- A Square with a hollow circle at the middle
- Use the circle that is cut down from the square
- A Rectangle
The measurements for each piece are shown in the images
Step 4: Assemble the Pieces Together ( the Result Should Look Like the Image Below)
Step 5: Cut a Hole for the USB Transmitter
Step 6: The Interior Design
The image on the left is the interior structure of the display stand.
Inside the display stand, I put two rectangular cardboard at the left and the right to help balance the circular board, their dimensions are 8.5cm times 26.5cm.
In the center, I put a small table to help lift the servo motor to a height of 3.6 cm (the motor itself is 4.7 cm tall)
You should stick the top of the servo motor to the center of the circular board, and stick it onto the table.
