Okay, we need to talk... After going public about the project, I received quite a bit of feedback regarding the motion system for the tonearm. Someone went as far as saying: Not going to bother following. For this to work vertically, it must be linear tracking, otherwise the side forces…
Okay, I am getting into the territory I am least comfortable in. The platter, being the biggest and, probably, the most precise part of the whole build is... complicated. The end result must be rigid and not only dimensionally accurate, but also very well balanced. The balance requirement, although not…
I've been working on the suspension bracket assembly, which will be used to fix various components of the player to the plinth elastically, in order to improve vibration dampening. I am trying to re-use components of the design as much as possible for efficiency, so the same bracket design will…
My goal is to design and build a vertical record player, which may be built using trivial parts and tools, plus a lot of 3D printing, hence the project name -- MPRP for Mostly-Printed Record Player. Above and below are renders of what it might end up looking like. Oh…
I promise, the logo was not the first thing I accomplished on this project, but it just happened to be the first thing I did after buying the domain and figuring out the fastest way to manage a static website — shout out to Publii. So there we go, the…
