SKARSTA - motorized table

thingiverse

Quite some time ago, I purchased one of the Skarsta electric versions as its alternative, Bekant, seemed overpriced to me due to lacking many preset positions. The design of the case and mechanical parts, mainly the motor and encoder, has undergone multiple updates over time. The initial version was powered by a FIXA Screwdriver, which was great since I could reuse all of its electronics. However, it had drawbacks as it couldn't handle heavier loads and the supplied PSU could only be used for recharging, resulting in dead batteries sooner than expected. After testing several DC motors from eBay, Aliexpress, and Banggood, I settled on a 12V-180RPM Motor that meets my needs at present. You can use any motor you have, but all you need to do is update the case for it; the other electronics can remain the same.
