issues with current design:

backlash -- this stems from poor gears and stepper motor placement.
too thicc -- the turntable's vertical height can be reduced greatly
noisy -- mostly hollow design in the base of the turntable exacerbates resonant frequencies. Plus stepper mounting position affects noise too.
expensive -- have to buy slew ring bearing.

okay things with current design:

No backdriving (because of worm gear)!!!!
Easy bottom-up assembly

Proposal:
Create a completely new turntable architecture that is quiet, low-profile, and robust. Also maintaining ease of assembly and aesthetics.

seanngpack added enhancement mechanical-enhancement and removed enhancement labels
