Parts that have not been modified by me are available for download directly from the designer https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3577666 ### new Gearbox. > Sprockets_n_Shafts_Hodor Shaft_Hodor_Right Helical_Gear_Left/Right Worm_Shaft_Left/Right Using a worm gear with a small reduction factor, I was able to increase the opening/closing speed x4. *Sprockets_n_Shafts_Hodor* and *Shaft_Hodor_Right* minimize the distance between the *Helical_Gear and Worm_Shaft*. *Sprockets_n_Shafts_Hodor* also got a notch for wires between Arduino and the motor controller. As a stepper motor driver I use A4988. Connection diagrams can be found on the network. 28BYJ-48 has more power. ### new Window Hodor > Window_Hodor Latch The new *Window_Hodor* does not require making a hole in the window and can coexist with the roller blind cassette. ### new Casing > Base_End_Left/Right End_Cover_Left/Right Base_Cover_Left/Right Window_Frame_Hodor_Left/Right *Base_End* together with *End_Cover* includes space for Arduino, 2x power connector, motor, motor controller and LED. *Base_Cover* looks better over the entire width as two halves. I've given up the middle Window_Frame_Hodor. *Window_Frame_Hodor_Left/Right* support the whole mechanism sufficiently, which allowed to reduce the number of holes in the window frame to two pieces. 2x DC power socket, because the device can be powered from different sides.
