the assembly process, and user experience.

A rough sketch of the product and circuit design, and dimensions for creating a laser cut file.
The DC motor is mounted in turquoise acrylic with anti-vibration rubber mounts.
The circuit is soldered with color coded wires and finished with heat shrink tubing.
Everything is neatly contained in the wooden box for the final assembly.
