DIY Sanding Station

thingiverse

I desperately needed a high-quality stationary sander but the ones in the store costing $100 were simply unaffordable for me. I made up my mind to create my own station using some affordable electronics and my satisfactory designing skills. The parts for this fantastic sander cost under $20 altogether. Here is the complete list of components: - 12V 5A Power Supply - 775 DC Motor - DC Speed Controller - Wires - Scrap piece of wood for the base You will also require equipment to solder the wires onto the motor, as well as some M3 screws. I am too lazy to copy three links, so here is the link to my fantastic DC Speed Controller Case. You can find the links to the parts in the description: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3622972 You can easily find a 775 DC Motor on the internet. I purchased mine from Banggood. Or, You can buy them through these Banggood links (these are affiliate links, which means that I get a small percentage of the sale). There are no extra costs for you, so this is the easiest way to support me as a young maker. 775 DC Motor: http://bit.ly/37elpMX DC Speed Controller: http://bit.ly/2ZDC8Xy Power Supply: http://bit.ly/2rzeAq2 DC Plugs: http://bit.ly/39nEv51 (You could just buy one female DC plug, but I think it is worth having a set of 10 pairs for future projects.) Some accessories you need to make this (these are just my recommendations, if you already have this, you're good to go). Cheap, good wires: http://bit.ly/2ZvLgxf (I used 14AWG wires in this project) Solder: http://bit.ly/2Qrhohp (Out of all the solder types I have tested from China, this is my favorite go-to solder. Makes nice and shiny joints.) TS100 Soldering Iron: http://bit.ly/37jqjrQ (I haven't tried this one, but this is apparently the "mainstream" soldering iron which the majority use.) Heat Shrink Tubing: http://bit.ly/37jqQKm (This will last you a long time, and cover all your heat-shrinking needs.) Thank you for your wonderful support!
