Turner FAQ

What are our turners made of?
Our Turner Modules are made of 3D Printed PLA Plastic and the base is painted timber

How are our turners made?
The Turner Module is built layer by layer on our 3D Printers and once a Module has been completed
we add the accessories such as Bearings, Motor and Shaft Assembly before testing the module overnight with our heaviest product;
The 32 Ounce Hydro Drink Bottle.

What's with the bearings?
We use two bearings in the build process; one at the motor and one at the attachment. These bearings keep the motor shaft assembly straight and reduce stress on the motor and turner over all by distributing the weight evenly across the shaft connecting the motor and attachment, these bearings also offer some noise reduction and ensure a smoother motion when the turner is in operation.

My turner occasionally makes some odd noises and stutters, is there something wrong?
The motor assembly for these turners is a small cylindrical attachment that is connected to a low RPM motor - the design can occasionally cause a slight stutter/noise when there is significant load placed on the end of the attachment. Whilst every effort is made to reduce that noise with bearings and a smarter shaft design, noises can still occur. You can rest assured that the noise will not impact the curing and quality of your epoxy/alternative resin tumblers, we routinely run the turners under load to ensure that the motor is working correctly before shipping.

I still think there might be something wrong, this is alot of noise im hearing.
Please reach out to us directly with a video if possible of the turner in operation and we can assist with any issues you may encounter.

Are you making new designs/multi turners in the future?
We're constantly refining and tuning our designs to ensure we're offering the best possible products for our customers. We've explored some options for Mutli-Turners and will continue to research the best-value offering, keep an eye out for releases in the future!

What size pipe and attachments fit your turner?
We sell an assortment of 3D printed turner attachments that work well with our tumbler product lines, however the size of the pipe itself is 20mm and can be found in multiple hardware stores - we do offer attachments with 20mm pipe pre-glued to ensure you can get up and running quickly without having to worry about cutting and fitting pipes to attachments, we glue them in to ensure that your attachments don't separate from the pipe whilst in the tumbler, as the fit can be quite tight!

Oh Yeah! - What's with the rubber things in some of my tumbler attachments?
Some of the tumblers we sell can have very slight diameter variances in the manufacturing process. Because we manufacture our attachments with a 3D printer, we use the rubber inserts to counter this variance to ensure that there's always a tight connection between your tumbler and the tumbler attachment.
