Ok, first things first! Materials list;
Synchronous Motor (from Amazon.com)
SPST snap switch
iPhone 4 Box
(2) 8/32 x 1/4 screw
(2) 8/32 nuts
Old lamp cord
Alagator Clip for the end
First I marked the center of the box 1inch down from the top.
I drilled a hole 3/8 inch hole and then using the the motor as a guide I marked where the screws would go, and then drilled the holes for the (2) screws. I used 3/16 drill bit for the left and right screws, then secure the motor in place with the nuts.
I dressed up around the motor with a cut piece of vinyl, this is not necessary just for appearance. (You will see in the last photo I decided to change the vinyl to black)
Now the motor is in place I marked the side for the switch. Then I used an exacto knife to cut it out. With some fine trimming I pushed the switch into place.
In order for everything to fit correctly I had to modify the back part of the box. I notched it out so it would clear the switch, I love the iPhone boxes because they are very sturdy. I then used white electrical tape to clean the edges up.
From here I put the back piece of the box aside and started wiring the motor to the switch.
Now I modified the lamp cable by putting heat shrink on the end. I drilled the hole in the back left corner of the back of the box so the cord was nice and snug pulled through.
From here I just finished wiring it up.
I pushed the back of the box into the front, and while firmly pushing I super glued it together.
Here is the finished rotator!! All you need to do now is put the alagator clip on the end and your in business. I hope this helps you take you IEM building to the next level!!
Again this little tool helped me overcome several finishing issues, I hope it helps you as well!!
