Shim for smaller motor and build notes

thingiverse

I had to post this as a remix rather than a make so I could upload the stl for the motor shim I made to use this with a little bit smaller motor. It's 28mm diameter, and 47mm tall. If anyone would like a similar shim for another motor, comment with the diameter and height and I'll post one for you to try. Screws needed for the build: 4 x M2x15mm and nuts, washers 7 x M3x40mm and nuts For the led lights, I trimmed a piece of perfboard to fit the opening and soldered leds into it. I hav 3.3v leds and put them in 5 series for 12v so they're a little dim, but won't blilnd you like they do in 4 series. I figure with 20 of them, there will be enough light. For lack of a clock spring to keep the drill in the up position, I might rework the handle to incorporate a rubber band. For now, things stick enough that the handle can be lowered and lifted and will stay where I leave it, so it works well ehough.
