PCB-Vise motorization

cults3d

Because the M6 threaded rod is a real nuisance to screw in and out, I've come up with an idea to motorize it for easier use of the vise, I hope you'll find it enjoyable. https://youtu.be/H1LDRPikjJ0 This is the motorization for the project: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2663801 You will need a double pole, double throw switch to reverse the motor polarity, and my button required a 20x22mm hole. A DC motor with some torque is necessary; I used one from an old VHS that had a diameter of 26mm and a shaft of 2mm. A 9V battery, some wire, four small screws with a 2.5mm hole diameter, two M6 nuts, and a bearing with an inside diameter of 7mm and an outside diameter of 12mm are also required. Note: I've uploaded two boxes - one like mine and another with a center small hole - so you can make a hole accordingly to your button dimensions.
