If you find this model useful, please don't waste your boost coupon, your boost is my biggest motivation for designing models
The original intention behind designing this kitchen utensil holder was that there were too many spatulas and other items at home, usually stored in drawers, making them inconvenient to access. Sometimes the oil pan was already hot, and I was still looking for a cooking spatula. Then, it just so happened that I still had many unused bearings at home, so I wondered if I could use some bearings to make a rotating holder for easy access to items, and that's how this product came to be
The hanging arms are designed to prevent items from falling, with an upward curved tip to prevent spatulas and other items from sliding off. The size is compatible with most commonly used spatulas, such as cooking spatulas, slotted spoons, and ladles
There are two versions in total. For those who don't want to keep it in the kitchen, you can print only the regular base from plate 1 and the turntable from plate 3. If you want to hang longer items like cooking spatulas or slotted spoons, you can choose to print the elevated base from plate 2, the turntable from plate 3, and the extension rod from plate 4
Regarding overall dimensions, the standard version is about 25 centimeters tall, the elevated version is about 45 centimeters tall, the base diameter is 15 centimeters, and the turntable diameter is 12 centimeters
Assembly is relatively simple, requiring one 105ZZ bearing. First, place the bearing into the groove at the bottom of the turntable, then install the support rod below. For the standard version, you can directly attach the base. For the elevated version, attach the extension rod first, then connect it to the base. When connecting to the base, please use 9406 glue or B7000 glue and allow it to cure before use
For the elevated version's stand, due to its higher center of gravity, it will become top-heavy if fully loaded with spoons or similar items. To prevent the stand from tipping over, you can set a pause point at the 150th layer of the base print to pause the printing and pour millet or rice into the infill gaps to increase the base's counterweight, or set the base's infill to 100% to increase density. However, I personally recommend filling it with millet, as millet is less expensive than filament, and 100% infill will significantly increase material consumption
For printing materials, when making test pieces, I used Bambu Lab's PETG HF and P-brand's high-speed PETG. There were no issues with tolerance or shrinkage, and the bearing installation was very smooth. Because the shrinkage rates of different materials from different brands vary greatly, some materials with high shrinkage rates might cause the holes to be very tight after printing and cooling. If your material has a higher shrinkage rate and the bearing installation is too tight, you can lightly file the bearing installation hole at the bottom a couple of times with a small file, but be sure not to enlarge it too much, otherwise the bearing will become loose and fall out
PETG material is recommended, as PLA material may not be strong enough, and in a kitchen environment, PLA material might quickly become brittle and degrade. If you need to hang many items on top, it is recommended to reasonably distribute the load to keep the turntable balanced, otherwise it may tip over or cause the turntable to rotate unsmoothly or even detach from the column. For printing the turntable, since the cantilever hangers are suspended, please enable supports. Do not change my settings unless necessary. Since the bottom surface is relatively large, please enable brim to prevent warping. Due to size constraints, A1 mini might not be suitable. I do not have an A1 mini machine, so I cannot perform print verification for A1 mini compatibility. A1 mini users should choose to print with caution. Other models with a print bed larger than 256mm can print normally
If there are any imperfections in the design, I hope everyone can point them out promptly to help me improve the model. Thank you for your boost and support. Your recognition is my motivation to continue designing practical models
