What am I making?

: What could it be?

: Am I a bit eccentric?

: Hint: The nylon washer...

It's a very tiny turn table that can automatically change 1" records. minus the needle/electronics obviously

I'd say it's a cake stand with a clip so that you can snap it onto those door keeping clips. This way you can hide a mini cake behind a door and surprise people with it. No one would ever guess to look for their birthday cake attached to a door clip!

Cake and records, that is just awesome.

: How about this?

Ah, now that's a cool little upgrade!
How do you like them? Should I ask for the file and print my own? Are they awesome?

So far they are holding up. They keep everything in place. I printed with ABS so the dimensions might be off for PLA. I will post the files and let people play with them. I make them is Cubify so the source files are not exactly universal.

I initially planned on use the slot in the hub to adjust. However in practice you can do by hand. I think I may extrude the bottom part of the hub a bit to make it a bit less wobbly when placed on the clip part. You will have to sand/file the clip post or the hub as the tolerances are tight. With PLA it might be loose. Or maybe with a better calibrated machine it will be loose. I don't know.

I do my clips in batches of 9 to prevent heat from sagging the post. With the hub I just did 6. You only need six total.

If someone needs this modified here are the Cubify files, or if you are really nice I can play with changing dimensions for you.

Let me know how these work out for everyone. They are working fine for me now. I just was tired of my paper clips from flying off across the room when I pried parts of the borosilicate.

Awesome! I'll download these on my other machine and try them out using PLA!
The clips aren't bad, but I'd like something more consistent
