re: BeerBQ Swap 2023 —-

Yes, Ive got a rotisserie that integrates with it. They sell a couple models. One that’s mostly for doing tumblers and such, and uses rollers to just roll the items around. I opted for one with a proper chuck on it. Since I’m comfortable with lathe chucking it’s a better option for me. If all you did was tumblers or plain cylinders it would probably be easier to use the roller type.

One nice thing about using an Ortur rotisserie on the LM3 is that it’s got a separate plug in the frame just for that. A toggle switch jumps between the regular y-axis gantry motor and the rotisserie making it a snap to swap back and forth. You do have to do some testing within Lightburn so the software knows how many steps and at what rate to rotate the rotisserie. It’s not hard, but is a bit tedious for one-off projects. I haven’t done many burns using the rotisserie, so I’m not very adept at it but, when you need that process, it’s the only best way to do it.
