Take your 3D print photography to the next level with the Pull-to-Spin Mechanical Photobox! This is a fully 3D-printed, interactive display turntable designed specifically to showcase miniatures, figures, and small functional prints.

No electronics, batteries, or motors required! This turntable operates using a highly satisfying, fully 3D-printable rack and pinion gear system. Simply push and pull the lever handle to smoothly rotate the 18cm display base and capture your models from every perfect angle.

🌟 Key Features:

Fully Mechanical: Smooth rotation powered entirely by a printed gear mechanism.
Swappable Backdrop & Base: Instantly customize your photo's mood! The curved wall and top spinning plate are designed to be easily swapped. Print multiple plates in different colors and mix & match them without any tools.
Generous Size: The 180mm diameter provides plenty of room for most standard 3D prints and character busts.

📁 File Organization & Printing Instructions:
To make printing as easy and foolproof as possible, the files are organized into 3 distinct folders:

Option A - Modular Base Frame (Recommended): The backdrop pillars are printed flat on the bed separately from the main ring. This guarantees much stronger parts and eliminates the risk of tall, thin prints failing. Simply slot them in after printing!
Option B - Integrated Base Frame: The pillars are integrated directly into the main base ring for those who prefer a solid, single-piece frame and have their printer dialed in for tall parts.
Core Components (Print All): These are the essential parts of the mechanism.

👉 How to Print: Choose and print only ONE Base Frame (from Option A or Option B). Then, print all the files inside the Core Components folder.
