My neighbor is a mechanical design genius. With his help (mostly his), we have designed and built a 24" long turntable to fit on my layout. We have spent almost 1 year designing in Design Spark (Space Claim freebee) and programming Arduino's for control. At the present time, we are in the middle of finishing a major re-design to incorporate assembly using full connectorization instead of endless hours of difficult soldering.
If there is any interest in this project, I will take some pictures of the assembly process and videos of the turntable in operation. The beauty of this design is that it has many more features than those currently on the market and can be made for approximately $100 worth of parts. However, you must have some tools and a 3D printer.
