Four Motor Laser Spirograph DIY

cults3d

My project is an ingenious 4 motor spirograph that transforms a single laser light into stunning geometrical patterns. Creating it yourself is a breeze, requiring only some basic knowledge of electronics and soldering skills. To get started, you'll need: 4 DC motors (1-4.5 V / 3-6 V) with impressive power 4 precision 10K potentiometers to fine-tune the experience 4 sturdy on-off switches to control the action 4 essential TO-220 electronic components for a solid foundation 4 sleek mirrors, each about 3cm in diameter, to reflect the magic 1 high-powered 200 mW laser pointer to create the show 1 main on-off switch to initiate the spectacle 1 attention-grabbing indicator LED to signal the start If you choose to connect an indicator LED, be sure to include a resistor, as the voltage may vary. For instance, at 9 volts, I used a 10K resistor. You can easily find these components on popular online marketplaces like eBay or AliExpress. To assemble the project, simply connect the main switch between the power supply and the other switches, and attach the small switches before the circuit as shown in the accompanying picture.
