Wine Bottle Carousel Build - 3D Printed

Introduction

This build is a complement to the Wine Glass Shelf build from earlier this year. This build is almost completely 3D printed with the exception of one hardware piece. With a simple finish and assembly you can enjoy a rotating wine bottle carousel.

What You Will Need

Materials:

• 3D Printed Carousel

• 3D Printed Base

• Lazy Susan Turntable Bearing

• Primer

• Bronze Spray Paint

• Clear Coat

• Glue

• Sanding Paper

Tools:

• Orbital Sander (optional)

Any/all necessary protective equipment.

3D Printed Parts

The print time for the carousel is quite extensive at its current design so I would not feel comfortable recommending 3D Hubs since the cost would likely be too high to justify. 

For those of you who do have a 3D printer, I recommend the following settings:

Carousel (decent surface quality to limit amount of sanding needed)

• Filament choice not really important

• 0.2mm layer height

• 25-30% infill

• Support

• Raft recommended due to minimal surface contact

• Brim optional

Base

• Filament choice not really important

• 0.2mm or higher layer height

• 15-20% infill

• No Support

• Brim optional

Finishing 3D Prints

• Remove raft and support material.

• Sand carousel to the desired smoothness. Start with 220 or320 grit and move up until you have a nice smooth part without visible print lines. 

• Wipe the sanded parts with a lightly damp cloth or paper towel.

• Apply even and light coat of primer.

• Allow enough time for primer to dry, then sand lightly.

• Wipe the sanded parts with a lightly damp cloth or paper towel.

• Once the parts are dry, evenly apply light coat(s) of bronze spray paint.

• Once the parts are dry, evenly apply light coat(s) of clear coat.

Assembly

• Glue the turntable bearing onto the carousel and base respectively. Alternatively, you can fasten the bearing with screws.

• Insert wine bottles and enjoy your Wine Bottle Carousel!
