Hey everyone.
I have looked everywhere, but I can't seem to find any "flat-top" motors for a spirograph or anything. Anyone have any suggested retailers of good motors for this use? I am looking for something that preferably runs off of 3-5V (I have a 9V input, plan on regulating speed through a simple 1k pot, hopefully that's enough to bring it up to full speed and also stop it dead).
Also - front surface mirrors? I live in a dorm, so I can't really use the chemicals to make one... any suggestions?
