Neat turntable, I'd love to see what goes on top when you get to that stage.
The bearings seems to be of reasonable quality. There's no slop in it and the holes do line up pretty well with its CAD model.

We tapped the stationary metal shaft that the output shaft rotates about, stacked two greased washers under it, and tightened down the screw.
