Motorized Roasting Stick

thingiverse

I had dreamed this up years ago, but never got around to designing and building it. Well now I have. I've always tried to rotate my roasting stick with slow consistent speed. Usually my marshmallows come out nice and golden brown, but sometimes a little darker on one side than another. Here's the video: https://youtu.be/A0AXkZSSIRs This is motorized roasting stick has simplified that process. Now I simply put a marshmallow on the end, flip a switch and hold it over the heat. It cooks marshmallows or hot dogs with perfection. Perfectly golden brown marshmallows melted all the way through. ###Here are the parts you will need: - One of each STL part (except two Battery Case Terminal Cover's) - A 3/16" 36" stainless steel rod (you can find them at Home Depot or Lowes ... I found them for about $4) - A 14-18 RPM Motor (see images for dimensions, you can find these on ebay, here are the ones I got: https://www.ebay.com/itm/284948890942) - A slide switch (see images for dimensions, you can find these on ebay, like these ones: https://www.ebay.com/itm/233679172306) - Battery Contacts (you can find these on ebay, like these ones: https://www.ebay.com/itm/364131021106, or these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/324755834040) - Wire (I use CAT-5 solid wire) - 2x AAA Batteries - Screws - 6x M3 16mm x 7mm - 1x M3 12mm x 7mm - 1x #7 x 7/16" (M3 screws like these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/183912289235) (#7 7/16" screws like these: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Grip-Rite-7-x-7-16-in-Bugle-Pan-Head-Framing-Screw-1-lb-Pack-716FPHS1/100126679) ###Here are the tools you will need: - Digital Caliper (or you could eyeball it) - Marker - Angle Grinder - Needle Nose Pliers - Super Glue - Wood Clamps - Wire Stripper - Soldering Iron - Solder - Phillips Screw Driver Since the assembly would take a good deal of description, I've put together a video for it instead. https://youtu.be/A0AXkZSSIRs Enjoy your easy roasting!
