This is exactly what [Chris Borge] realized when using his 3D scanner and finding that the included rotation table left quite a bit to be desired — <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/1581544-fixit-system-scanning-videography-turntable" target="_blank">providing him the perfect excuse to build a new one</a>.</p>
<p>One of the main features of a rotation stage is the, well, rotation. This was done in [Chris]’s case with a NEMA 17 stepper motor, perfect for precise rotation of scanning. Hooking up the motor to a basic perf board with an Arduino Nano allows for on the fly adjustments to rotation speed. To really solidify the over-engineering, [Chris] applies his obligatory <a href="https://hackaday.com/2025/04/13/3d-printed-milling-machine-is-solid-as-a-rock/">concrete mix</a> to add some heft to the stage.</p>
<p>While the previous features could be removed/downgraded without much loss, the adjustable grid built into the top adds significant functionality. The grid is based on [Chris]’s past projects, which allows cross compatibility.</p>
<p>We love over-engineering here at Hackaday, especially when adding something new. For more prime
