  • What did you use for the motor?

  • @mrnobody89 I bought a couple of obsolete camcorders for almost nothing at a yard sale. A camcorder is filled with tiny motors which work on 5 volts, which is what is available when you plug in a USB drive.

  • will you make for purchase?? :D

    

  • @TheGeeLaurence I'm sorry, I don't make special orders, but since people are interested I may make another of these. Watch my Etsy page.

  • I'm making one of these myself. How would you suggest quieting the motor?

  • Just start with a quieter motor. Also, I could have maybe put soundproofing around the motor, though it wouldn't have quieted the gears
