For this prototype I indeed used padded carpet tape to decouple the two plinths. It would be a waste to purchase something like sorbotane for this exercise.

I did mount the motor and platter bearing to the top plinth. However, this design would not isolate the two.

I could accomplish isolation if I made the motor outboard in its own containment, then I would have to use a different platter and a different diameter drive pulley on the motor. The platter would have to be driven by its outer most circumference.

Anyone know where to get nice acrylic platters?

That may also mean a longer spindle to accomodate thickness of a different platter. Any suggestions?
