Motorized Kitchen Scrubber

thingiverse

If I had access to a motor with greater torque, I could rely on it. But without it, we're left working with something that whizzes up and down at high speed instead. The design here is geared toward accommodating a 9v DC motor as well as a 9v battery. My long-held ambition involves creating a scrubber potent enough to tackle ordinary grimy plates and attaching it to a robot arm programmed for precise movements. Another milestone toward automating homes! Check out how it performs without using sponges: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojeUOLK0EWY&feature=youtu.be Instructions Acquire all 5 parts, please Buy the necessary components: 9V Motor (RadioShack:273-047) 9V Battery Momentary Pushbutton NO (RadioShack:275-1547) Locate desired area and drill hole for momentary pushbutton Assemble motor by soldering connections together Attach "Spindle" to spindle of motor Mount "Lever" and "Attachment Slider" onto the spindle as well. Install entire motor assembly, including 9V battery, into designated compartment. Use nut provided to secure momentary pushbutton in place. Rotate "Attachment Slider" until it fits securely through faceplate hole. Be certain not to touch "Spindle pin" during rotation. Attach a suitable adhesive to secure the non-intrusive attachment of "Faceplate" to "Motor Housing" so it won't rub against pin of "Spindle."
