A New Zealand inventor has created a 3D printed hand-cranked turnable. Watch the footage below.
The MakerBot Ghostly Vinyl Challenge invited people to use their design skills to create weird and wonderful products for music lovers: resulting in a printed record player.
They wanted something innovative to "decorate, augment, or personalize your records and stereo systems." New Zealand inventor Oana Croitoru took the idea and ran with it resulting in this handsome hand-cranked turntable that plays vinyl.

“All pieces for [the] record player are neatly aligned and designed to fit in a 15x15x15cm cube, and print beautifully on the Replicator 2, without any rafting or supports,” she explains on Thingverse.
She added: “Once all the pieces are printed, it assembles in about five minutes. Then you just add a little glue to make sure nothing flies of as it spins and you’re ready to go.”
Croitoru is currently to crack on with a second version boasting improved audio quality. We're not quite ready to relinquish our Crosley just said - but can't wait to see what she comes up with next.
