Workflow
From STL to automated capture
Roveltia is designed to take you from download to first spin with a transparent, maker-friendly process.
-
Print the chassis
Use the included STL pack and recommended tolerances to produce the structural components on your FDM printer.
-
Wire the electronics
Follow the BOM and schematic to wire the stepper driver, mainboard, and core hardware. No soldering required.
-
Flash & control
Flash the provided firmware, connect via local Bluetooth, and control motion and capture directly from the app.
Who it is for
Engineered for makers and technical creators
Roveltia is strongest when you already own the tools, build physical products, and value a transparent, repairable hardware ecosystem.
Maker businesses
Build the hardware yourself, understand the system, and keep your workflow repairable and adaptable.
Technical creators
Use the app and firmware as a practical platform for controlled motion, product capture, and future customization.
Product sellers
For sellers comfortable with DIY workflows who want professional 360° results without the closed-ecosystem price tag.
Why Roveltia
Engineered for product content
Purpose-built motion, capture control, and polished workflows for product listings, catalog content, rotating showcase videos, and ecommerce.
App-controlled motion
Dial in 0.2-2.0 RPM continuous motion, custom step angles, and automated direction control with a geared stepper drive tuned for product content.
0.2 - 2.0 RPM · Custom step angle
Automated capture modes
Run photo sequences with quick frame presets or custom shot counts, record in-app video, use single-step moves for listing hero angles, or spin continuously for display and demos.
12–72 quick presets · Up to 255 frames
Transparent and repairable
No sealed black boxes. You print the chassis and wire the standard components. If a part breaks, you reprint it. If a motor dies, you swap it.
Standard NEMA 17 · ESP32
Local control, no subscriptions
Connect directly via Bluetooth. No cloud accounts, no mandatory internet connection, and no monthly fees to access your hardware.
Direct Bluetooth LE

Rewards
Planned Kickstarter rewards
Each reward is built around the same DIY turntable system. Final pricing will be confirmed on Kickstarter, but the value difference is clear now.
Standard system kit
Planned entry reward
For makers and product creators who want the core Roveltia system.
Everything you need for app-based control, smooth spins, custom step moves, 360° photo and video workflows, optional GIF output, the on-device gallery, and home return.
Creator workflow
Planned creator reward
For small product brands and creator businesses building automated catalog content.
Adds tunable settle delay between sequence stops so you can dial in stability after each move, plus other advanced workflow controls for consistent product content.
Developer source
Planned source-access reward
For technical creators and makers who want full control of the stack.
Includes full firmware source code so you can customize behavior, add features, or adapt the system to your own workflow.
Commercial rights
Planned hardware-rights reward
For small product brands and businesses that need to modify or manufacture the hardware.
Everything in Developer, plus the original STEP files for the chassis - edit the geometry, adapt the design, or integrate it into your own product.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Roveltia is in pre-launch. Join the launch list to get the campaign notice, reward details, prototype updates, and final timing as soon as they are ready.
No. Roveltia is a maker-built platform, not a pre-assembled turntable. You download the engineered files and firmware, print the parts yourself, and source the electronics from the published BOM.
You will need filament, the electronics and hardware listed in the BOM, and access to a compatible FDM printer. The estimated electronics BOM is $40-$90 depending on sourcing, region, and parts you already have.
No. Roveltia connects directly to your phone via Bluetooth using the Roveltia mobile app. No cloud service or subscription is required.
You connect directly to Roveltia from your phone via Bluetooth. The Roveltia app supports continuous spins, homing, automatic multi-frame runs, single-step moves, video recording, and a steady product-display mode for live demos. You trigger the shutter; on-device media and settings stay on your phone with no cloud required.
Standard gives you the core system files and workflow features. Creator adds advanced creator tools including tunable sequence settle timing. Developer adds source code access for full customization. Commercial includes editable STEP files for hardware modification and manufacturing use.
Roveltia is designed for most 180 x 180 mm+ FDM printers, including common Bambu Lab, Prusa, Ender-class, and Voron-style setups. Final print guidance and tolerance notes will be included in the build documentation.
The campaign will define delivery timing and exact reward access. The goal is to deliver the digital kit through the Kickstarter reward structure, with updates for backers as the files, firmware, app, and documentation are finalized.
Only the Commercial reward is intended for modifying or manufacturing the hardware. Standard, Creator, and Developer are for personal or internal use unless the final campaign terms say otherwise.
Kickstarter pledge and refund handling follows Kickstarter's rules and the final campaign terms. The landing page is for pre-launch notification only; no payment is collected here.
Backers should expect normal pre-launch refinement. Changes will be communicated through campaign updates, and the build documentation will be kept aligned with the files, firmware, and recommended sourcing list.
