Introduction: Simple Electric Screwdriver
This hobby gearmotor is normal and cheap, its rotating speed and torque is ideal for hobby electric screwdriver.
All you need to do is designing a connector in Tinkercad and printing it out.
The connector has a hole on each end. One is for the gearmotor, another is for the screw bit.
Supplies
Hobby Gearmotor
Screw Bits
Batteries or USB Charger
Step 1: Design in Tinkercad
The size of your screw bits probably not the same as mine. So I did not upload the printing file of my connector, you need design one by yourself.
Very simple design, not much to say.
But a notice. If you want to put screw bit in the hole, the size of the hole should be a little bit bigger than the size of screw bit.
So is the hole for the gearmotor.
Step 2: Print
The connector requires strength.
Just print it with 100% infill , such a small piece costs little material.
Step 3: Power Supply
The working voltage of the hobby gearmotor is 3-6V.
If you use AA or AAA batteries, you can use 2,3 or 4 of them. The speed and torque will be different under different voltage.
Or cut a USB cable and connect the gearmotor with a charger(5V). It's more economical.
Step 4: How to Switch the Rotating Direction
There're two simple ways:
1.Switch the positive and negative wires of gearmotor.
2.Swtich the connector to another side of the gearmotor.
