Printable Lazy Suzan & Planetary Gear Vise Open Ball XL

UPDATE 2025-09-09: I've added the missing lazy susan files. Thanks for letting me know! 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media I got impatient waiting for the lazy suzan to arrive from Amazon so I designed a printable version. While I was at it I remade the fractal vase to print easier (based on Teaching Tech's design ). Then started to adjust things here and there to fit the hardware I'm used to (M3 and M5 DIN912 bolts and heat inserts) and ended up with a full remix. I say “full remix” but there are parts that I did not change from Chris' upload, those parts are prefixed with o_ for “original”. The entire design is on Onshape . The whole BOM is at the bottom. I hope you'll enjoy this one :) Thanks. Assemblies Bellow you will find the design separated into it's assemblies. You might choose not to print some of them or one the original ones. There's a Bill Of Materials (BOM) for each assembly, an exploded view to be used as the manual and if it mattered a build plate from a slicer presenting the print orientation. Almost everything is designed to be printed with 0.3mm layer height and 0.4 wall width - the fractal parts must be printed with 0.12mm layer height. Ball Start with the Ball Assembly . There are built-in supports to help with the print of the main ball shell. Snap those off once printed, you don't need to be precise, it's going to be submerged in concrete in a moment. I made and printed the inner concrete interface to have something in the concrete being held from both sides (if that makes sense) - not sure if it's important or not. If you decide to print it make it without the top and bottom - just the infill for the concrete to pass through. 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media BOM Part Qty Description ball_main_shell 1 Printable o_ball_top 1 Printable concrete_interface 1 Printable, Top and bottom shell layers: 0, 10% infill Rectilinear M8 coupler 24mm 9 M8 65mm Bolt 1 M8 10mm Bolt 8 Printing 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media Base You will find one TPU part here - it's the rubber ring - you might have a fi 6mm piece of rubber which is probably a better solution but if instead you have TPU laying around you can print the ring. It's a snug fit but it fits. The bottom base is modified to require no supports. Most of the files are from the original. I did not like how my concrete job looked through the little windows so I made little glue on covers. 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media BOM Part Qty Description large_inner_base 1 Printable tpu_ring 1 Printable o_base_cover 1 Printable bottom_case_cover 1 Printable o_bottom_left_spacer 1 Printable o_bottom_right_spacer 1 Printable o_upper_left_spacer 1 Printable o_upper_right_spacer 1 Printable o_bottom_back_spacer 1 Printable foot 4 Printable M8 25mm Bolt 10 M8 coupler 24mm 8 Back Holder The biggest change here is that I'm using a 20mm fi pipe in the back - that's a size I easily found in a polish hardware store, while a 19mm pipe was nowhere to be found. Additionally I have friction mounted parts there - both parts clamp around the pipe (not scratching the pipe). The open top of the pipe ask to be used for some kind of a light fixture where the power wire could go inside the tube, but I ran out of ideas here :) There's a soldering iron holder on the back that can hold a 20mm iron. The gridfinity shelf is changed to take a M5 bolt. 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media BOM Part Qty Description back_pipe_base_20fi 1 Printable back_pipe_hander_20fi 1 Printable gridfinity_shelf_5mm 1 Printable back_iron_holder_a 1 Printable back_iron_holder_b 1 Printable M5 Nut 6 M5 20mm Bolt 6 M8 25mm Bolt 3 pipe_20fi Lazy Suzan You would not believe how well this rotates. I used a bit of silicon lube on it but even dry it's great. Holds the weight of the concrete ball, prints easily. I very happy with this. You'll see a lot of heat inserts here - this is just future proofing, might become handy in the future vise deigns of something. Really you only need the 4 to hold the vise plate. 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media BOM Part Qty Description lazy_susan_cage 1 Printable lazy_susan_peg 30 Printable, print them standing up, use brim in need be top_lazy_susan 1 Printable lazy_susan_top 1 Printable M8 10mm Bolt 4 heat_insert_M3xD4.6xL4.0 69 or 4 :} Vise Plate Very similar to the original just that it takes heat inserts. Just like the original it requires the dove_tail and the vise_adaptor_plate to be glued together. 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media BOM Part Qty Description dove_tail_v2 1 Printable vise_adaptor_plate_v2 1 Printable knob 2 Printable big_knob 2 Printable vise_break 2 Printable M3 8mm Bolt 4 M3 12mm Bolt 4 M3 25mm Bolt 2 M3 35mm Bolt 2 heat_insert_M3xD4.6xL4.0 12 Fractal Jaw (1 set of 2) There's not much to those, I watched TT's video (link above) and learned how to do it. It was difficult to scale it down so much but in the end I got 60mm of travel and the vise works like a charm. Lube helped here as well. 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media BOM (for one set - you need 2!!)

Again can use lube here. It's difficult to print - check the instructions. Do NOT over tighten the M3 screws that go into the bearings. 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media Part Qty Description spur_gear_planet_15t 3 Printable spur_gear_ring_45t 1 Printable spur_gear_sun_15t 1 Printable vise_gearbox_reverse_wheel 1 Printable vise_gearbox_interface 1 Printable 623 Bearing 3 M3 12mm Bolt 3 M3 16mm Bolt 3 heat_insert_M3xD4.6xL4.0 6 Printing The planetary gearing must be printed in one print as the herringbone spur gears will not assemble afterwards. There are three options: Make sure to load the 5 files as one object with multiple parts to retain the parts position for printing. Load only the GROUP file and make sure your slicer did not connect any of the gears together. Use the SIMPLE version - it's less fun but will work for everyone. Don't forget the other two parts. 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media Fractal Vise Now using the two assemblies from above you can construct the vise itself. 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media BOM Part Qty Description fractal_jaw_mount_moving 1 Printable, 0.12 Layer Height fractal_jaw_mount_fixed 1 Printable, 0.12 Layer Height vise_body 1 Printable Lead Screw (square thread, 4 start) 175mm M3 12mm Bolt 1 M3 35mm Bolt 4 heat_insert_M3xD4.6xL4.0 5 Printing 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media FULL Bill Of Materials Part Qty Description ball_main_shell 1 Printable o_ball_top 1 Printable concrete_interface 1 Printable Top and bottom shell layers: 0, 10% infill Rectilinear lazy_susan_cage 1 Printable lazy_susan_peg 30 Printable print them standing up, use brim in need be top_lazy_susan 1 Printable lazy_susan_top 1 Printable spur_gear_planet_15t 3 Printable spur_gear_ring_45t 1 Printable vise_gearbox_interface 1 Printable spur_gear_sun_15t 1 Printable vise_gearbox_reverse_wheel 1 Printable vise_body 1 Printable fractal_jaw_mount_fixed 1 Printable, 0.12 Layer Height fractal_jaw_mount_moving 1 Printable, 0.12 Layer Height fractal_B1 2 Printable, 0.12 Layer Height fractal_B2 2 Printable, 0.12 Layer Height fractal_C1 4 Printable, 0.12 Layer Height fractal_C2 4 Printable, 0.12 Layer Height fractal_D1 8 Printable, 0.12 Layer Height fractal_D2 8 Printable, 0.12 Layer Height dove_tail_v2 1 Printable vise_adaptor_plate_v2 1 Printable knob 2 Printable vise_break 2 Printable big_knob 2 Printable large_inner_base 1 Printable tpu_ring 1 Printable o_base_cover 1 Printable back_pipe_base_20fi 1 Printable back_pipe_hander_20fi 1 Printable gridfinity_shelf_5mm 1 Printable back_iron_holder_a 1 Printable back_iron_holder_b 1 Printable bottom_case_cover 4 Printable o_bottom_left_spacer 1 Printable o_bottom_right_spacer 1 Printable o_upper_left_spacer 1 Printable o_upper_right_spacer 1 Printable o_bottom_back_spacer 1 Printable foot 4 Printable M8_coupler_24mm 17 DIN 912 M8 65 mm 1 DIN 912 M8 10 mm 12 heat_insert_M3xD4.6xL4.0 71 bearing 623 3 DIN 912 M3 16 mm 15 DIN 912 M3 12 mm 8 DIN 912 M3 8 mm 12 Lead screw (4 start) 175mm 1 DIN 912 M3 35 mm 6 DIN 912 M3 25 mm 2 pipe_20fi 1 DIN 912 M8 25 mm 13 DIN 912 M5 20 mm 6 M5 Hex nut Nyloc 6
