Today I got some more prints finished and started mounting the bottom turntable. Hopefully all the ball bearings won't give too much friction.

For the entire build to be easy assembled, I just realised that it needs a custom expansion circuit board with connectors for the processor and stepper motor drivers etc. There are a few online circuit board design tools and chinese producers that offer PCBs for only a few dollars a piece. Something I havent tried before, but I'm sure I'll sort it out somehow...
