is there a way to give a turn-table a little more friction - or even a friction turntable? I like using them, but they swing every which way every time you pick them up - i don't like it. thanks in advance -vive le krakhed (22 years ago, 14-May-03, to lugnet.space)

I haven't tried this with Lego, so don't sue me if it doesn't work. But, you can add friction to moving parts of other materials by adding a tiny drop of cyanoacrylate (super) glue to the joint, and then working the parts until the glue dries. This (...) (22 years ago, 14-May-03, to lugnet.space)

You can put a piece of paper between the two parts of the 2 x 2 turntable. A rubber band between the two pieces of the 4 x 4 turntable will tighten the turntable nicely. (...) (22 years ago, 14-May-03, to lugnet.space)

One way to increase the friction on a single plate motion (like a swing-wing aircraft for example) is to use 2 of them...one on top and one on bottom with the plate sandwiched between. Surround the turntable on the bottom surface with tiles and the (...) (22 years ago, 15-May-03, to lugnet.space)

Travis, I tried a Lego rubber band around the center post and I it would not seal correctly. I also tried around the outer circle on the base with no increase in friction. Are you using a different rubber band or am I just doing it wrong? Thanks in (...) (22 years ago, 16-May-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) Hi Leonard, I'm with Travis on this one. A small piece of paper sandwiched inbetween a turntable of any size will give you a good amount of friction. Felix (URL) (22 years ago, 16-May-03, to lugnet.space)
