DC Motor Extender

thingiverse

Some ready-to-print tools need a specific DC motor that can't be found online with the exact dimensions required. To solve this issue, I created an extender that can simply be glued on top of your existing motor to make it fit! --> Configurable OpenSCAD file! 1. Order a motor with the same diameter as needed (if you find one that's slightly smaller, just add 2-3 sheets of paper to make it thicker). 2. Download the .scad file and open it in OpenSCAD. 3. Adjust the variables at the top to fit your motor perfectly. 4. Render and print the extender. 5. Glue it securely on top of your motor. I hope this solution works for you! Please leave a comment if you have any questions or need further assistance. Example images: I designed the extender because I needed a specific height for my PCB drill (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1846582). Now, it fits perfectly without any issues.
