Launcher Grips were a nice slip fit when printed in TPU (fuzzy skin)

Motor cover, coupling, and battery door use M3 inserts (5mm wide 4mm deep) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FJ1T989N?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

Switch is three pin so that in the off position, the motor is shorted. This causes the braking effect used to launch the top.

Switch: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CRTDZWJC?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

Motor is a cheap brushed 895 12V DC motor (I used what I had on hand) which was rated for 9000 RPM at 12V. A 3S Lipo pack provides close to 12V https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B52XFF2L?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

Nearly any 3S lipo battery will be able to supply the 20 or so amps required to get these tops spinning. I used these and they provided plenty of power and fit nicely in the battery box. https://www.amazon.com/your-orders/orders?startIndex=20&ref_=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_pagination_2_3

The launcher coupling requires a 5mm flange coupler to attach it to the motor shaft. https://www.amazon.com/Coupling-Connector-Coupler-Accessory-Fittings/dp/B08334MFVT?pd_rd_w=ABJ4y&content-id=amzn1.sym.ea1d9533-fbb7-4608-bb6f-bfdceb6f6336&pf_rd_p=ea1d9533-fbb7-4608-bb6f-bfdceb6f6336&pf_rd_r=3DFCT55PR7G5YSM14QRM&pd_rd_wg=ShGRE&pd_rd_r=d024b6a7-94c4-451b-a7bd-7112253b4aca&ref_=sspa_dk_detail_sbt_img_1&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWxfdGhlbWF0aWM&th=1

Warning: Since we are using Lipo batteries connected directly to the switch and motor, you may wish to use a LIPO monitor/alarm to prevent the batteries from being over discharged. We didn't bother but it's a good idea https://www.amazon.com/Aoicrie-Battery-Checker-Detector-Indicator/dp/B07VR4SV8C/ref=sr_1_7?crid=1QNTT8MBZM979&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.3LMqV6n-uKaqyqyGVUTNw2Mli7WD5s06ejFzhkIyu_MuTcCcLkRvPw8Dcx31ZMNJObTN6tK8SJHS2Tc06wXsMmaPJ-wArY6QLbyqs4gOnwD_ab_rM1309zAeDZVy7-nS5P41x2GPqpIqRJv7nbiaUSpW4k63mSwmWfiXN8q395T3h7ift7Cp4SoA57J-uHjvJMZXsYcorvgtIpd3r8V2wneUIwjg7ShEtV0v6cAGc4sgA4J9b-LJYqKXjbaMdF8jWQ8oeaHxy9H2VFFQSMlybvU348RRbFsX_npZd_2Goxg.c5TTrghJGcA4Ks4O_MXY4SkgVPUWT4gV9oQAFs3VyN4&dib_tag=se&keywords=lipo%2Balarm&qid=1777835183&sprefix=lipo%2Balarm%2Caps%2C138&sr=8-7&th=1
