			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello everybody,</p><p>I am trying to build a scanner and I have the same problem as described into the Turntable wobble topic.&nbsp; <br />Does someone know where I can find the document: table_coupler - extended.STL; 609.95 kb as listed into this topic. When I try to download it, I receive a message that this document is out of date and therefore none accessible.<br />Thank you.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I may try the part in my previous post later, but...</p><p>It looks like most of the wobble was actually coming from the misalignment of FP and FQ. Loosened everything up, inserted a 13/64&quot;-drill&#039;s shank with the above-mentioned alignments parts to align everything, then tightened it all up. It looks a lot better now. Let&#039;s see how a scan looks now...</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Chasing the wobble now. I printed some alignment parts that I designed to work with the stock parts, but they did no good. </p><p>I&#039;m now printing a combined FN/FO part with two screws to engage the motor shaft at 90°. There is also an nose/extension that almost touches the motor body to help with alignment.</p><p><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?rCoBRA9.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?rCoBRA9.jpg" /></span></p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Just received my acrylic kit and there <em>seems</em> to be two FN pieces, one 3D printed, and one laser cut. Guessing to use the thicker, laser-cut version?</p><p>EDIT: Nope. Too thick.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi Khenning, that sounds good for peeps with the acrylic setup. Someone should find it useful, unfortunately, i won&#039;t yet as i have the 3d printed version <img src="https://www.soliforum.com/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /></p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I ran into a wobble issue as well when I was assembling my Atlas (acrylic kit form).&nbsp; In my case the screws that hold the coupler onto the turntable had caused the MDF of the turntable to &quot;pucker&quot; a bit; this was causing the coupler to not be tight to the turntable giving me a wobble (or rather more wobble since I also had the stepper shaft to coupler issue).&nbsp; To correct this I simply removed the coupler from the turntable and removed the MDF that protruded around the screw holes with a small chisel and then sanded it to make sure it was smooth.</p><p>For those without access to a 3D printer I found a way to mount the turntable tightly to the stepper shaft; Actobotics makes a number of items; for instance they have an aluminum hub for a 5mm shaft which you can attach to the turntable, or even attach the hub to the 4&quot; round baseplate that they sell.&nbsp; Costs a bit more (in the US about $15) but it is an option if you don&#039;t have access to a 3D printer.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Thanks Pirvan, found the&nbsp; coupler extended stl file very useful as my turntable was suffering from extreme wobble too. Nice work <img src="https://www.soliforum.com/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /></p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I&#039;ll see if I can do something about it later tonight in SolidWorks.</p><p>Edit:</p><p>Here is the extended version of the coupler.&nbsp; It&#039;s 8mm longer, and it should fit the motor shaft very tightly.&nbsp; You might even have to drill it out slightly, depending on how well calibrated your printer extrusion is.</p><p>Anyway, there are also 3 equally spaced holes on the new extension.&nbsp; These are for installation of 3mm set screw screws.&nbsp; I prefer to use those on my scanner rather than the 2 original set screws at the top.&nbsp; But you can use either, or both.</p><p>Attach the coupler to the turntable platter, then push the assembly onto the motor shaft until it bottoms out.&nbsp; There should be only a very small (&lt;1mm) clearance between the bottom of the coupler and the motor face.&nbsp; And there should be no play at all.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<div class="quotebox"><cite>pirvan wrote:</cite><blockquote><p>Alternately maybe someone that uses OpenSCAD can modify the original turntable coupler to extends it about 8mm.</p></blockquote></div><p>I have noticed that out of the many many things it can&#039;t do right, Google SketchUp can easily do that by allowing you to select a piece of a model and just stretch it in a direction using the Push/Pull tool... though I don&#039;t think it has any way to allow you to stretch it by an exact measurement like 8mm.... it seems to prefer you just drag and draw everything with your mouse.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I don&#039;t know if anyone else that has already assembled their scanner had the same problem as I did, but I noticed that the turntable can pick up a wobble in it, due to a couple of factors.</p><p>1.&nbsp; The hole for the motor shaft is oversized (5.5mm hole vs. 5mm shaft). <br />2.&nbsp; THe coupler is too short in length</p><p>These two factors contribute to a lot of play, and make it very hard to set the turn table perfectly square.</p><p>So for myself, I drew and printed an 8mm extension that has a tighter tolerance (5mm).&nbsp; I then placed the extension on the motor shaft, and glued it to the bottom of the coupler.&nbsp; </p><p>The new setup, nearly touches the bottom (where the motor face is).&nbsp; All the play and wobble is now gone.&nbsp; For those that have similar problems, I&#039;m attaching the STL file of the extension I printed.&nbsp; It also has 3 holes on the side for adding 3mm set screws.</p><p>Alternately maybe someone that uses OpenSCAD can modify the original turntable coupler to extend it about 8mm.</p>]]></description>
