I thought I would create a quick post about the Lazy Susan that I used in my post on my MendelFlex rewiring effort. You might have noticed it in my Prusa MK3x post too.
I ran across a video on YouTube where they used a Lazy Susan while they were working on the hardware in their computer. I thought that was a neat idea, so I looked into making a Lazy Susan for similar tasks. I looked at a number of videos and found some useful information. Adam Savage had a video where he talks about Lazy Susans and how useful they are. But the Rockler base plate that he liked was more than I wanted to spend and I didn’t need something as heavy duty. I looked on Amazon to see what suitable Lazy Susan base plates were available. I determined that I wanted my Lazy Susan to have a platter of around 21″. This size would be suitable for use with my largest computer case and also my 3D printers.
Here is the 12″ base that I eventually bought from Amazon.
The Lazy Susan really came in handy while I worked on my Prusa MK3x and on my rewiring effort of the MendelFlex. It was easy to turn the printers around and work on them. The MendelFlex is a bit heavy so being able to easily move it was very helpful. It is a great thing to have in the workshop. I highly recommend it.
