I liked the idea of the motor mount, but some of the parts needed a little tweaking. Here are some of those tweaks.

I am mostly using parts from https://www.printables.com/model/501307-pastamatic-37-mm-motor-mount-enclosure to add a motor to the pastamatic base design, but I found a couple issues that needed tweaked models.

Parts I found that needed tweaking from the two parent models:

  • The gear for the motor needed a set-screw setup to be both easy to put on the shaft, but to hold it there.  I provide one here.  The default “bump-in-the-middle” gear was either too tight or too loose for me no matter how I tried to resize it.  This is designed to fit an M3 grub screw.  These are admittedly a little harder to expect people have on hand, but you can get a set like these for cheap, and they're pretty useful. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07L73K16W?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details 

 

  • The motor casing was too tight in the remix here on the same motor I got off amazon.  I provide a snug-but-actually-fits version here.
