Body for upcycled tattoo machine made using toothbrush/hair trimmer motor

prusaprinters

I draw and tattoo my design and a friend asked if I do it with the machine I made. I thought to myself what a great idea and why not make a tattoo machine from some leftover electronics I have left in my house especially as I wanted one with a longer stroke and I didn't want to buy another machine when I don't really think I need one. I'm not gonna say it's better than a pro tattoo machine but was a nice project and kinda cool to have one I made myself and can't wait to actually find some time to use it and see how well or badly it works. I used motors from the old Braun beard trimmer which seems to be the same size motor in something like an electric toothbrush or Phillips shaver and most electric toothbrushes. Usually 20.4mm in diameter sometimes with tho sides flattened down. For power delivery, I used just this standard RCA connector so I can use it with my tattoo power supply and power cord:https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07QLXLL19For the eccentric wheel, I got this one:https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B089Q434N8The grip I have used in the pic is not the best has a plastic thing to hold the cartridge but I had it for like a year and still works sort of okay so in case you are interested here is a link but I'm planning on making a 3d printed one too so that might be coming next as well as stick and poke cartridge pen holder.https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000804280550.htmlAnd finally, I used a random m3 thumb screw and nut that I had closest to me at the time of making it any m3 screw will do.If anyone plans on making and using one please make sure you know what you are doing when it comes to tattoo hygiene and aftercare. EDIT ADDED 3D PRINTABLE GRIPS: https://www.printables.com/model/488968-tattoo-machine-adjustable-cartridge-grip
